Short and Hilly

Rode by myself tonight. I managed to get in 10 miles in 36 minutes with 1000 feet of climbing. I have to start pushing myself on the climbs. i need to keep the tempo up! I was still feeling the crossfit workout from yesterday evening (and probably the Tony Horton PAP from yesterday morning).

and He's Back

70 degrees...on November 8th! I felt like I was living in San Diego for a day...and I could definitely get used to this. Joe was back on his game as we pushed the tempo on a 17 mile "Cove" ride. It was an enjoyable start as we were escorted along our route by various canines!

I'll be off the bike tomorrow due to PTCs, but I might just have to make a trip to the "Pain Cave" after the PTCs end.

Mondays

I'm going to start using this for two purposes:

1. Document my workouts
2. Other thoughts on life

Started the day off with the MTBStrengthCoach's August Punisher 2 Workout:

10 Minutes, as many rounds of Guard Press (50 lbs dumbbells), Lunges (10 x each leg), and Renegade Rows (20 lbs dumbbells).

16 minutes of 40 sec on 20 sec off of Single Arm Swing (30 lbs dumbbell), Jump Rope (mostly in the 80s), Romanian Dead Lift to Single Arm Row (30 lbs dumbbell), and Single Leg Medicine Ball Push-ups (20+ reps)

I followed this with a set of Swiss Ball Roll-outs and Four Wall Walks (thigh to wall and thigh to floor).

In the afternoon, I was able to put in 10 miles of the Road SS before we held Parent Teacher Conferences in the evening.

I really don't like this time change, too dark too early!

Ride to Ride!

Lovely Saturday here in Ohio, and with Joe recovering from a lingering infection, Idecided to ride to his house for a sick recovery ride and then ride back home. It was outstanding! The weather was great, temperatures started in the mid 40s and topped out in the high 50s. I was able to get in 40 miles on the CX bike. ilove riding that bike! Steel + 42cknobby tires + woodchipper handle bar = 1 Happy bike rider!
