I don't work on Mondays!!

I’m not supposed to work on Mondays!! That was my legs talking. I got in a quick 20 miles. Didn’t sleep good last night…arm drove me crazy!! I plan on doing 20 miles today (did), 30 on Tuesday, 40 Wednesday and Thursday, and 30 on Friday. That will be 160 miles for the weekday and I’ll try to get another 100-110 mile ride in on Saturday. I want to be able to get to 150 miles in one day. That is the goal. A good ride to Mt Dora and back or to my brothers…and back. It won’t be easy…but I think with my current training schedule, I’ll be in good enough shape by late spring or early summer to make the first attempt. I’ll keep pushing the Saturday rides a little further each time. I’ll try another 110 this weekend…weather permitting of course!

Thursday

Stairmaster...stairmaster, I figured that it was worth mentioning twice because that thing is a killer! But I like that sort of thing. I worked out for 30 minutes on level 11 and did 2760 feet and burnt 560 calories...that is in 30 minutes! A very fast way to burn off some fuel and get a good burn. The veins in my quads were just popping out! This morning’s ride was a tad uneventful. I rode 30 miles in 1 hour and 2 miutes which is a bout average for me now. My MP3 player ran out of battery so I was watching tv. Oh..hum. But a good couple of work outs. I’ll go home tonight and run...not sure but I think outside.

18th of January

Last might I went home and did my dog chores and went to run on the treadmill. I was all by myself in my gym. Anyway, I ran my 4 miles in 36 minutes for a 9 min.mile. Not bad, but I’ll have to start to pick the pace up to the sub 8 min/mile. But for now it will work, I have almost 3 months to work on speed. This morning I had a hard time motivating myself to ride the roller...but I did. I rode my 30 miles in 1 hour and 2 minutes for just over a 29 mph pace. That is good and I can’t complain. I have been sweating like a little piggy though on my roller..more than normal. Maybe I’ll trim down faster. Not that I have that much to loose off of my 132 pound frame! This weekend looks pretty good for some longer rides. Should be warm and the winds should be tolerable....75 degrees and winds 5-11 mph. I’ll plane to a good tail wind on the ride home. I’m excited for a 4-5 hour day in the saddle! That is why I do what I do during the week.
