Week in review March 26-April 1: Most training hours in a LONG time

Lots of rehab and lots of riding.
I knew I'd had a pretty good week — I had done at least SOMETHING every day and did PT or my PT homework every day except Tuesday.

Still, I was pleasantly surprised to see almost 8.5 hours when I added everything up. Which isn't a lot, but the last time I did more than 8 hours was mid September!!! Wow!

I did a bit of everything last week and between that and the consistency, it paid off at the end. It worked out to be:

PT/rehab: 6 times, 1 therapy session at the clinic and 5 homework sessions, for about 3:45. (If I take out all the waiting around and resting time, this is my best guess.)

Bike: 3 times, all on the trainer, for 39 trainer miles in about 3:41. If I had added up my mileage ahead of time I would have done one more mile. Oh well.

Weights: 1 heavy/body session of upper body and abs for about 30 minutes.

Swim: One swim cut short when I started having breathing problems after 1000 pull buoy meters in about 27 minutes. I'm honestly not sure how to proceed here — probably stick to very easy swims for the time being until I can rule out a problem from the chlorine.

Overall: 11 sessions in about 8:24. I mean, it's not great, but it's more than I have been doing, so hooray!

This coming week probably won't be as great because I've already done nothing this evening except eat cupcakes and do the food prep I couldn't do yesterday since everything was closed. And, I don't have Friday off again, sadly. But I have the weekend wide open so far, so that's something.

Have a great week!
