Pulled muscle
2009-01-07
Yesterday in my gym session I pulled a muscle at the top of my left
leg doing leg curls. It's the exact action I need for kicking in the pool and
pulling up my pedal on the bike. I really felt it this morning during my swim
and did the second part of my workout with a pool buoy so as not to strain it
further. I'm pretty sure it will heal quickly over the next days so won't push
it too much.
After the swim this morning I did a 45 min cycle which consisted of a 20 min
warm up and then 8 sprints of a minute each (doesn't sound like much does it
;-) with a rest of 30 secs in between. And then a cool down and back home.
It's a beautiful morning in Cape Town and with most people still on holiday
the roads were empty.
I'm heading into town to get my car serviced, do some work in Dee's office in
town and then back home for a run this evening.
