Oh, and where I work out isn't air conditioned.  

Last March I started to ride a unicycle. I have found it to be the most intense exercise so far. My favorite is hill climbing. Trails that I find moderate on my mountain bike are intensely hard on the unicycle. Paved climbs are much easier but dirt is more fun. I especially like riding with the dogs.

Me and my dogs on Priestrock Trail above Lexington Reservoir.

We're going to get into cycling soon. I usually run 4.5 miles 4 days a week at lunch, hit the weights at the gym 3 days a week in the evenings and take cycling classes 3 days a week to boot. It's exhausting but a quick way to get in shape. Saturdays we've also been doing Cardio Kickboxing - which let me tell you - is quite the workout!!!! We...or rather I, was sore for 3 days after our first class!!!!

I calculated from my heart monitor calorie reader that during an average day where I do all 3 (run, weights, cycling) I regularly burn 2000 calories!

Did a mini-duathalon for training today.  Wore my new Tri-suit to see what it's like.  The thin pad is surprisingly comfortable. 

6.8 bike
1.75 run
1.5 bike

And I feel pretty good.   

We'll have to wait to see how I feel tomorrow.

For me it's usually not the next day, but two days later that I start to feel sore.

By then it won't matter.

Maybe the time in the pool tomorrow will help.

Sweet!    Are you training for a tri?

Yuppers.

A sprint tri (my first), August 8th.

400m swim
15km bike
3km run

Did a 5K Sunday morning. Got a new personal record 20:33. I was pretty stoked. It would be real nice if I could get below 19 minutes? But I probably have to train harder and more focused for that...

Easing back into the gym...went in and did some light weights...dumbells presses laying on the floor to keep pressure off my core...some resistance band stuff etc.
Then spent 30 minutes on the stationary bike. It's a recumbent so I was pretty comfortable in my torso while my legs were jelly after the hill climb program.

Funny thing about broken ribs...you never know how much they influence your core until you break a few...hehe.

Whew....

A double workout today:

5 mi run this morning

pool workout after work.

Thankfully tomorrow is a rest day. 

yargh! not being able to workout is made much worse by all of the ambitious workouts on this thread (Ducatista, I'm looking at you!!)

swelling seems to be mostly gone and I'm walking like a human being again so I think tomorrow I might be able to manage a light workout - hopefully! So far, pool-time "physical therapy" has been my only workout.

anyone see any danger in light weight lifting while still a little swollen? it is really very little, although the bruises are still ugly.

Really now? Last time I checked (about 2 hrs ago), the entire underside of your biceps was black, purple and yellow, and your triceps was swollen to 2x its size.

If I catch you anywhere near a weight there will be blood 

Swimming sounds like a good choice.
