Sunday River Ride

Today I went for a quick ride with my friend Stuart down the river to Cocoa Village and back. It was a beautiful day with very little winds. Legs felt good but my butt was a little sore. I could have done a long ride, but really just wanted to spend the day at home with Carmen! Need some time to relax! Today was about 30 miles and I still managed to make Stuart work. Coming back I pushed the pace to about 25…not to bad for me but Stuart was back there trying to hang on. I really do it for him…..can’t become a better rider without pushing it and ridding harder. All-in-all a nice day and a good recovery ride. Later this afternoon, I’m going to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse for dinner. I’ll be packing on some extra calories during this meal!! Tomorrow…nothing. I try not to ride at all on Mondays. So for the week I ended up with 271 miles, 548 for the month, and 1448 for the year. Not a bad start.

Almost makes me want to go out and buy a bike but then I'd have to ride it.

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.
