Monday!

For a Monday....I felt real storng and fast. Usually, this is a relaxing day with onylt about 20 miles...but not this morning! I whipped out a brisk 30 mile ride with and average speed of 24.5 mph. My speed is really starting to pick up!! I thought about staying on the bike and doing 40, but it's only monday and I have the whole week to think about. I'll shoot for 40 on the next 3 days. It seemed the more I rode this morning the better I felt and the more motivated I became! Maybe these long rides are starting to pay off. Actually I thought that I would feel like crap today...all I did yesterday was eat and I feel like I gained 10 pounds in the past 24 hours...but I know that if I sleep long enough that I'll burn it all off! Lucky me huh! Well I'm going for about 150 miles durning the week and a long ride either day over the weekend if the weather permits!!! I managed 260 miles last week and I'm over 2200 miles so far for the year! Got to go to work now!! Ta Ta!

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.
