Wish I Had the TIme

October 4 & 5, 2009

Yesterday I had a good ride. My only problem was that I had to cut it short because I had a family function to go to. Got out early and rode to Sandy Hook. Real heavy fog over the Hook that did not lift until I was almost ready to leave for the ride home.Cool and nice riding weather. Actually past the start of the Jersey Shore 1/2 Marathon. In my old days I would have felt real jealous that I was not running. But I felt relaxed and glad I was on the bike. Wound up doing 45 miles. I said to my wife when I got home that if we did not have to go to the city I would have thought about continuing for another several hours. Now I am looking at the weather for the upcoming weekend and thinking about 75 to 100 miler.

Today I had planned as a day off. I did my core strength exercises and ran for 45 minutes. Good run anaerobically. Raised the treadmill between level 2 and 5 and got my heart rate up to 154. This is a good way to get my HR up till I bring the bike indoors and start anaerobic training on the bike.
