| After 4 straight days of 10 minute workouts on the Skier's Edge I was forced to take 3 days off. I had a nice little crash on 12/29/2006. I tweaked my knee a bit and didn't want to make it worse.
I got back on the Edge this morning. My knee felt much better yesterday but the killer hang over I was nursing kept me off the machine. I feel slightly more conditioned. I was able to do 15 minutes without having to stop every 3 or 4 minutes to adjust my feet position. My rhythm on the machine is improving as well.
Was I able to transition anything from my first 4 workouts to the snow? Yes. I found that I am able to link a greater number of decent turns. But more importantly I was tipping my boots more and really getting my skis on edge. At first it felt scary but I quickly became comfortable with moving from edge to edge. It is a very cool feeling.

*Yes, I did gain a pound. But considering the fact that this was the week between X-Mas and New Years I consider myself lucky for only gaining 1 pound. |
