Faster and faster

Stronger yet! Well last night I had all intentions of just taking it easy on my run thinking about my shins...but!!!! At the first mile mark I looked at my time and I was just over 6 minutes...then just about 13 minutes at the 2 mile mark and 19 at the 3, and I finished the 4th mile at 27 minutes to bring me into the sub 7 minute mile mark. Yahoo...that is exactly where I wanted to be! 6.75 min/mile. So if I stay there and just work on the conditioning at that pace...I’ll do just peachy! This morning ride on the rollers was much like the run. My final pace was 31.1mph and completes my 30 miles in 57 minutes! What I want to do is break Dave Zabriskie TT record of 54.676kph or 34.17mph. But that is for only 12.5 miles so I think that I can do that.

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.
