Tuesday March 8th

Same as yesterday, but today I did mange to get my 40 miles in. I’ve been getting up earlier and been able to get into the garage about 5:30.....yes in the morning to start my ride. I’m still feeling good and strong. Pace today was 24.2 mph....not to bad. Not sure about the weekend yet...the winds are going to be a little brisk on Saturday abut Sunday looks good. Maybe I’ll have back to back 70s or something like that. I’d rather have a long ride on Saturday and take the day off on Sunday again...I really want to ride to Mt Dora this weekend it the wind behaves. Something about a 150 ride with a head wind does not sound like a good idea. Then again maybe I can relax this weekend and go on a couple of rides with my friend Stu....well see. I really hate not pushing myself....that is why I like cycling...the challenge of it! Riding around the neighborhood for 20 miles is not much of a challenge anymore. But where do I draw the line? How much is enough? I’ll give you the answer to that, when I figure it out...all I know I that I’m not there yet! I’ll try to get another 120 miles by work on Friday..that will give me 180 miles for the work week and probably 140-150 miles over the weekend. Humm, that allot of miles! Got to work now....see ya!

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.
