3.65 miles walking in 55 minutes (3.5 MPH at 2.5%hill) (I have to confess....I had a really good song on my Ipod, so I ran.....only 1 minute...but I did it and it felt great).

 

Then I came home and rode for 30 minutes - Hubby was leaving, so that was all the time I had.  

No pain and I'm feeling good!

Walked 2.5 miles - 3.8mph at 2.5 incline

All abs class - it kicked my tail!  I don't think I am EVER going to get rid of the pouch in my tummy thanks to my triplet pregnancy.  It is going to take a really good plastic surgeon and a tummy tuck.

I went to see the physical therapist today and he gave me a few balancing exercises.  I didn't realize that I had lost a lot of my balance.  Ankle feels stronger already!

Yesterday was the last day of school!  To celebrate, we took the kids up to a hotel in Salt Lake (it had a pool and a soda fountain machine), we played lots of games, watched a movie, rode Trax, and toured Temple Square (again).  It was fun to have a change of scenery and have good quality time with the kids without the distractions of home.

When we got home, I went for a bike ride.  I am SO SO SO slow.  I was totally passed by other bikers today.  Urghhh....  I think most of the problem is the bike - I am riding my hubby's OLD OLD mountain bike.  It is so heavy.  I've been saving my pennies and hope by the end of the summer, I will be riding a feather-weight.

Regardless, it felt great to get out and ride.  My ankle feels SO much better and stronger.  I am hoping by next week, I can start to run alittle.

For all you bike owners - what kind of road bike do you have?  Any suggestions?
