Nothing to write home about!

The weekend ended ok…I guess. No real stories to share this time. Saturday morning was rainy, windy, and just generally crappy so I stayed indoors and did 50 miles on the trainer. That went good. I kept a 26 mph pace…got the 50 done is good time and early enough to go enjoy the day! Sunday I decided to go out. It was cooler and windier than I had expected. I went up towards the Wild Life Refuge and to the Manatee bridge (about 30 miles from the house) and headed back. Like I said the wind was blowing me in the face at 14 mph…so kinda pooped me out a bit. Heading back was ok. The wind shifted a bit so instead of having a strong tailwind, I had a cross wind so I had to work hard in both directions. When I got home, I just wasn’t happy so I got on my trainer and rode another 40 miles to end the day with 100 miles (21.9 mph pace)….290 for the week and 3291 for the year (so far). Next weekend I will do another 100 if I have to do the whole thing on my trainer!!!

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.
