It's always something with me....

Another day in the garage. I set out to do 30 miles and I did my 30 miles. The first 10 miles I kept a 23 mph pace the second 10 miles I bumped it up to about 24 and the last 10 miles I bumped it up again to 25.5 mph pace. Funny story though…about mile 7 I dropped my sweat rag so I stopped to pick it up off of the floor. I straddled the bike and placed my feet on the sides of the trainer….well I lost my footing and slipped. Luckily, I was able to catch myself by grabbing the countertop of my tool bench….but in doing so, I strained a muscle in my shoulder so bad that I almost blacked out from the pain. Well I sat back up on my bike and with in a couple of minutes…the pain went away!! I think that I was already filled with adrenaline and endorphins….I’m sure I’ll feel it later. As long as it doesn’t prevent me from riding…I really don’t care, that’s what aspirin is for!!

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.
