Friday night and the lights are low....

I had a chat to the Satanic Spin Instructor this morning in the gym and told her that I'll be back next month. I am sooooo looking forward to that!

Activity: weights (lower body)
Time: 6am
Duration: 45mins

Headed to the gym before work today for a lower body session including:
2 sets x 45 degree leg press;
2 sets x hamstring curls on the swiss ball;
2 sets x squats with a medicine ball squished between my knees (to focus on my VMO),
and two other exercises I've since forgotten.

Followed it up with 14mins on the bike (L6, increasing to L7 @ 8mins; 90 RPMs) and 30mins of stretching. Lovely way to start a Friday....

I had planned to go for a swim tomorrow but my head cold is actually worse today than it has been for the last few days so I think I'll be keeping well away from all public pools until I'm back to 100%...

Edit: iced my knee earlier tonight and was just about to do it again when I noticed that my right knee (TPC) is noticeably warmer than the other.....I assume that's a sign of inflammation or somethin'. Bugger. Off to get some more ice...

Can you please do some gym workouts for me too Jen. Particularly ab exercises if you don't mind! I feel guilty about not making it to the gym when I read your entries!

Good to keep aways from those nasty pools - what you need is the open air whilst you run ;-)

Hey Jen, look after that knee. I'm in the ITB club now and have decided your membership will not be renewed!

If one knee had ice on it of course the other one will be warmer! Another blonde moment FHG?

Hope that knee is fine - I am an honourary lifetime member of the ITB club; not the best club to be in!

You know I belong to the club too, so please don't pay too much atention on it, warm still isn't the same as pain.

Go on with weight training that make your legs definitely stronger!!

Go on nice Jen!!
