March 26, 2010,
Planned an easy day for today. Got up and did my core strength exercises and weights. Than I rode the bike for a while. Felt good to be done for the day by 9 am. I am starting to feel the length of the workouts are beginning to wear me down a little. I still have the enthusiasm to get this done, but I guess I have to mixe the workouts up a little. Anyway the weather towards the middle of next week shows it is going to start reaching 60 + degrees on a consistent level. I am a big early morning riser so the quicker I can get out the door to train the better mentally it is for me.
Just spent some time going over the proper foods to start eating as I consistently start riding for 3 to 6 hours each day. Have to make sure I get the right type of carbohydrates the right times and also make sure I am taking in proteins. For some one my age I also have to make sure that the food I eat is not acidic but rather high in alkaline. That way I will not loose as much muscle mass. At my age and build I need all the muscle mass I can keep.

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".
