Gym with personal trainer 56:00 [2]
After 15 minutes of warming up with the resistance bands, a harder than usual set of weight machine exercises that focussed on the shoulders and chest. Thought of a short swim afterwards but did laps of the hot tub instead.

Walking 35:00 [1]
Felt run-down so an easy walk around the sub-division was needed. Calf cramped but not as bad as usual.

XC Skiing 1:00:00 [2]
Beautiful ski day up at Nakkertok. On the trails for 2.5 hours but a whole lot of time resting on the chalet deck, chatting, posing for pics, etc.
The trails are disintegrating quickly. Maybe a final ski mid-week.

Walking (10200) 1:02:00 [1]
Had a massage this afternoon, wherein Travis nearly drove me to tears working on my calves. Bit it helped a bit 'cause the cramping was not as severe as the last long walk.
Good stretch afterward watching the tennis from Miami.

Back was sore this morning (from yesterday's exercises, I guess) so I didn't extend myself on any of the weight machines.
Weight is hanging around 160. : (

Feeling worse than yesterday from the shingles shot. Nice weather so the walk was a tonic for the way I felt. Usual 5K Revelstoke route.
Good stretch and a set of core exercises afterwards.

Walking 31:00 [1]
Didn't sleep well last night and a shingles shot this morning added to my discomfort so a short walk and the requisite stretches was the limit.

Good spin at the club. Good stretch too.

Walking 1:01:00 [1]
-7 but sunny and no wind so it was a pleasant Sunday stroll. No improvement on the lower leg cramping issue. Calm when walking slowly but after a few minutes of open stride the cramping restarts.

Good spin at the club watching Netflix. Solidly in zone 2 most of the session and the lower legs didn’t complain. Good stretch afterwards.

Walking 32:00 [1]
Had my bag packed for a workout at the club but was feeling so lousy I had a nap instead. Didn’t help much so I headed out for a walk in the windy -6C weather. That perked me up but my stomach is still upset.

The 5 Km Revelstoke loop in pleasant temperatures. Leg cramped up at the beginning but settled down after a while. Good stretch afterwards.

Spin at the club watching Netflix to pass the time. Good stretch afterwards.
Lower leg didn’t bother me so much this time. Just burning quads.

Pleasant walk along the canal. Still cramping in the lower leg. Had to stop 4 times to stretch out the calves and hams.

XC Skiing 1:02:00 [2]
Took it very easy around the less hilly trails at Nakkertok. Waxing was not perfect in the melting snow conditions but it was still a lot of fun.

Walking 1:02:00 [1]
Enjoyable temperatures, a few flakes, and very little wind made for a pleasant walk. Leg was still cramping soon after I started but it settled down after a couple of stretches and rest.

Gym with personal trainer 57:00 [2]
Relatively easy workout. Tried a couple of new machines, one for the lower back and one for the core. I am always nervous with the lower back so I took it very easy.

Stationary Bike 1:01:00 [3]
Felt good on the bike, except for the burning quads, but as soon as I started walking around I realized I might have pushed a bit too hard. Hamstrings started to cramp later in the evening, fell asleep watching the telly.

Gym with personal trainer 58:00 [2]
Enough work on the shoulders so I cancelled the follow up swim for extra time in the hot tub. : )
Have that agreeable “tired for a good reason” feeling. No sore bits, bonus.

Good spin at the club watching an episode of Altered Carbon on Netflix. Sure helped pass the time.

Walking 1:35:00 [1]
Down the canal and over the locks at Hartwell for a short loop in the Arboretum.
Leg was cramping badly after 10 minutes so I had to stop for a good stretch. Same thing a couple of more times during the walk.
Good stretch afterwards and some (ouch) yoga ball massage on the calves.

Walking 1:06:00 [1]
Pleasant weather but the lower leg complained a lot even in my new shoes!
Short rests don’t work. It takes a 2 minute break for the leg to settle down.
