Bad Stairmaster....

Well last night I decided to stay away from running and went to use the stairmaster for my evening workout. And that thing really is a killer. I did 240 flights or 2400 feet climbed in 30 minutes...which burnt off 535 calories. I was soaked from sweat by the time that I was done. That is such a hard workout. Then this morning I rode my trainer for 1 hour and 1 minute at 29.5mph pace. Again..soaked with sweat! I really didn’t feel all that great this morning for my ride, I didn’t eat that good of a dinner nor did I sleep very well so this morning was a bigger effort than it needed to be, but I lived and still managed to get my workout in. Also, I weighed myself this morning and to my dismay...I weighed 126 pounds. Hope my wife doesn’t read this...she’ll make me eat a pie or something! I’m sure that it’s just water weight....really. Not sure about tonight if I’m going to run or do the stairmaster. We’ll see...

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.
