Body Comp 178.2 lbs 17% to 9.8% BF felt pretty good besides the back. After my workout I went to see a sports medicine doctor. He thinks I have a stress fracture x-rays proved negative so Monday I am set up for a MRI. So we will see. Today I walked but I will count it at running miles, after all some people don’t run as fast as I walk. 7% incline on TM at the TH it said 330 Cals 137/152 on polar and kcals was 394 I don’t know which to believe calorie wise but the 394 seems a lot closer to my exertion level time was 28:53 then I went to the elliptical and did 4 miles not counting any of that in my overall mileage either time was 31:27 149/169. I definitely have increased the tension level and so I am feeling pretty worked this felt a lot more like a running type motion. Next I biked for ten minutes HR was 163/181 I was really exerting myself towards the end. I felt the most spent after this exercise. Using fewer muscles creates a lot more fatigue; I also stayed in the saddle the whole time. None of these exercises ever caused me much more discomfort then a 2 on a scale of 1-10; this is greatly reduced from what I had felt. Last I lifted weights for about 13 minutes. Mostly legs HR were 139/178 but I was probably never over 160 after I cooled down from the bike. The Doc could be wrong and the Chiropractor right. I guess I will wait and see. The pain does seem to be reducing and for only $730.and 05 cents I get to know for sure. Oh well. The good news is I am able to get some endorphins going. I think I might try running in the pool tomorrow. I guess I am definitely not planning on Painters anymore and we will see how this affects things further down the road. |
