September 7, 2009
Today is a rest day from the bike. But I still got in exercise. On my rest days I am going to run. Use the run on a treadmill and do hill intervals to get my heart rate anaerobic. Today I wanted to see how high I could get it. I have not been doing any intervals either running or on the bike so I was able to get it to only 157 beats per minute before I slowed down. Treadmill was at level 9 and I was at a 9 minute pace. Will watch and see what I can get it to. I did my core strengthening exercises and my push up routine. Have to speak to people about weight lifting, if it is necessary.
Felt good today. No soreness, had a good nights sleep and I am ready for my second week on the bike.

About Me
- Phil Benson
- I am 64 years old and have been a visionary my whole life. I saw Frank Shorter win the Olympics in 1972, and I said I want to run a marathon. Since then I have run 50. I watched the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii on TV and I said I want to do that. 3 years later I finished the Iron man in Hawaii. I was 45 at the time. I watched all of the Tour de France this year,2009,and I said I want to do that. Unable to compete in the Tour, I will do the same miles they do on the same days in July. Can I do it? The saying goes "Man can achieve what the mind can conceive".
