One: I have worked my way up to 10 calf raises at a time (from 3). Still working to get 100 in in a day. Quality over quantity.
Two: My husband returned home today from State College after racing the Wilderness 101. After a loose headset (don't ask as I don't know) and two flat tires, he finished an hour longer than his pace might have suggested. Moral: running requires no added equipment and had he been running a marathon, he would have certainly PRed. I am proud and green with envy. Anyway, he encouraged me to get Phat Shirley out and go for a spin. In fact, he went with me. That's how cool he is. Phat Shirley is my fat tire Surly bicycle built for snow. Her tires are easily the width of 4 road bike tires, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of her tires was equal to the full weight of a road bike. We did a simple ride down to the bike path, completing 8+ miles without incident. I even managed to get my heart rate over 130 for part of the ride. No swelling immediately after the ride.
