1200 miles for the month!

Well I do have a goal for the week…that is to finish the month with over 1200 miles!! I rode 20 miles yesterday and 30 today, and all I have to do is continue doing 30 miles a day and I got it! I went over 1700 miles YTD on my trainer and 3000 miles YTD total. Not to shabby! I’m also getting better with my eating. Eating more that is. Haven’t lost anymore weight lately. Bought some protein bars to eat in the afternoon at my desk. I’m holding now at 134 lbs and 12% body fat. Feel good!! Heart rate is still dropping a bit and recovery is super fast now. As soon as I stop peddling, I can watch the bpm drop in 2’s…160…158….156…and within a few seconds I’m down in the 120’s or so. Yesterday I did 20 miles with an average peed of 28.7!!!

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.
