19th of January

Well I know that this is getting mundane, but last nights run was great. I ran my 4 miles in 33 minutes for just over a 8 min/mile. Not too bad. But I think that I was starting to bother this lady who was in the gym walking. She was walking at a snails pace just huffing and puffing and I was at a good sprint and barely breathing hard. She just kept looking at me funny. I love being in better shape than others. I was tired for my ride this morning...but had to get it done. Tomorrow is my off day so I had to get it in. I rode the trainer for 20 miles in 38 minutes for about 31mph pace. That was good. I’ll run again tonight and maybe just do some crunches tomorrow. I need to relax my muscles a bit for this weekend. I’ll ride with the bike shop crew on Saturday, but Sunday I think that I’m going on a long (80 miles) ride somewhere. Haven’t figured it out yet, but the weather looks like it will be good.

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.

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.
