I killed it!!

I killed the bike! It turns out that I was stronger than my bike yesterday. I was having some mechanical difficulties on the last 10 miles on the ride but didn’t look at the bike until this morning. My rim was rubbing on the brake pad and what had happen was that I broke a spoke on the rear tire. So off to the shop it goes. So I decided to take my day off today and I’ll train tomorrow. Actually it works out pretty good. I may shift my off training day to Sunday so I can have a full day to relax….unless my friend Stu wants to ride down the river or something. It’s nice having that long ride on Saturday and sleeping in and relaxing the next day where I was doing my long rides on Sunday and going to work the next day….just a thought. Anyway I was too hungry to ride today!! FOOD…NEED FOOD. Also, my bee sting turned in to this red itchy tumor on my arm that is driving me nuts! Have to go get some cream or something for it. Need to start thinking about next weekends ride……hummm how about Sebastian!! Haven’t been south in a while! Till next journey! OH...and thanks again to my brother for giving me a ride back yesterday....your awsome! And I've gotten some email regaurding my sting.....thanks, I'll live.

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.
