managed to get in a very solid workout on the bike last night. Breaking it up into little sections really helps. watched the second half of raiders of the lost ark and then a documentary made in 1999 about the badwater 135mile run.. cause i have that on dvd, and cause they started this years race yesterday.
Bike workout was
30min warm up
5min hard; 5min easy
4min hard; 4min easy
3min hard; 3min easy
2min hard; 2min easy
1min hard; 1min easy
2min hard; 2min easy
3min hard; 3min easy
4min hard; 4min easy
5min hard; 5min easy
10minute or so cooldown
there's probably a really easy way to describe that workout (some sort of ladder) without writing it all out.
arm and collarbone feels fine on the trainer. it's very quickly very sweaty indoors on the bike with now air flow around me. but thats good i suppose. don't know how long it'll be before i run, but it's my body and i am an experiment of one... so i'll do it when it feels right.
the arm can move around quite a bit now. no problem putting on shirts or showering. able to lift arm up to shoulder height but fully extending it is a bit of a pain. the left elbow hurts just from not extending it at all during the day (stuck in the sling). body still wants a lot of sleep - just shy of 12 hours last night. woke up once in the middle of the night when i moved it enough to jolt me awake. no problem holding or lifting things with the left arm. situps are pain free, but i'm more than hesitant at even trying a press up, and you can eff off if you want me to try a pull up. two and a half weeks until i get the second round of xrays... until then maybe it's best i stick to working my tits off on the indoor trainer and icing the shoulder/collarbone as often as possible.
imagine if i went out on the bike tonight, and crashed, and therefore deliberately favoured my right arm, and broke the right collarbone... i'd be, well, buggered. wouldn't be able to do pretty much anything.
