Helen: Great to see you. The whole "dirt on/under fingernails" is the reason I Hate gardening (among other things.) I did better when I got gardening gloves, but still don't like it. Look at you with dedication and walking in the rain!!!
Lili: Yes! The leaves will stop falling and it will be dark, gray and dank. . .
(Be careful what you wish for?!? ) Did you like the 20 mins. Elton John Run? I hope to incorporate a few more runs/walks during the next month (until the next power zone challenge begins).
Oh my - I'm 2 days behind (thought it was only 1!)
11/19/2021: 2 hours of pickleball (indoor! My friend joined me. She had fun also!) then I did a
5 mins. meditation that night (Resting up for my FTP test tomorrow)
11/20/2021: FTP Warm Up ride 10 mins. With Matt,
20 mins. FTP test with Matt, Ben Alldis 20 mins.
Mental health low impact ride (that I treated as a cool down to spin my legs out)
abs 5 mins. with Emma
(my new favorite to tack on),
25 mins. of Rebounding with San Fran (started with one and after 5 mins, realized it was too much so went to the 20 mins. beginner workouts!
PERFECT). then on to a
10 mins. Yoga Flow for hips with Chelsea Roberts something or other. . . . It is very good for opening my super tight hips. Bookmarked it and Hope to remember to do it some more.
FTP went well. I went up by one point. Not a lot, but I'll take it. I followed Matt's advice!!! And the strategy worked. BUT ...My bike went weird on me and set the number at the wrong one. It dropped it by over 100 ?!? Huh??? I talked to someone in my group and I have it reset (manually) back to where it should be. I don't know why it read at 222 instead of 234?!? But no matter. Improvement is improvement and it kept me consistent.
That's it. Getting caught up on cleaning, shopping, laundry, etc. before the holiday. I think I'm all set as far as the store(s) go. I will just have some baking to do (which will happen on Wed.)
Have a great weekend (what's left of it).
