The new recumbent tandem trike came--actually last week. Unfortunately it was damaged slightly in shipping and isn't rideable until a key replacement part that's being sent, will arrive. But, of course, we have another bike to ride in the interim.
On that note, we've been doing mostly short rides on the stationary bike this month. After a very warm start, spring turned cool. And rather than ride in temperatures that are a bit chilly for us, we've decided to ride indoors on the stationary bikes. We'll have plenty of opportunity for hard riding outdoors soon, so why push things early in the year?
Conditioning-wise, I'm feeling pretty good. It's a little disconcerting to see that a hard, 10-15 mile ride leaves me feeling a bit sore the next day, but that's an after-effect to be expected this early in the season. On the bike, I feel great.
A little shoulder issue has cropped up recently--I think it's the rotator cuff again. And I'm pretty sure I know the source of it: we were out of town and using some exercise equipment in a motel. I'm pretty sure I aggravated my shoulder issue when using the overhead press machine--which was not very well configured for someone my height.
So I'm taking things a little easy for awhile here during our upper-body strength training. So, things are going pretty normally in our little fitness world.
