It feels like Spring but it’s still hard to beat a ski weekend at Stowe with family and friends. We are transitioning from winter to spring – don’t wait too long to start riding outside in this gorgeous weather for triathlon season; if that’s your goal. My husband just went for his first bike ride to kick start his Ironman training. We are now working on his running and stretching program.
Nothing like a vacation outside with my family in the fresh air!
Here’s a link to some pictures, exercise can be fun.
Follow this simple rule:
If you have a fever or symptoms below the neck such as a cough then take a break from exercise. If you have symptoms above the neck and you are congested with just a head cold go ahead and have a light workout if you feel up to it. Do not exercise if you have a bad cough or bronchitis as it can easily transgress into pnuemonia or more serious conditions.
Great class this morning guys: Roger, Jessie, Alicia, Allyson and our newest spinner Cher!
Twice a week spinning will make sure we stay focused and consistent with our longer term exercise goals. For me, its a great way to kick start the day and begin my 2012 goal of competing again in Lake Placid Ironman 2012. Thanks to all of you for your commitment and especially to Allyson for pushing me to run spinning twice a week in the early morning. Thanks Rod.
