Got up very early this morning, 5:30 am. It was real cold outside and I had to be back by 11 to go visit my kids, so I decided to just go down stairs and ride indoors. Thought I might do a Spinerval workout but decided against it because it just tightens up my back. So I just pedaled easy for 3 hours. Watched the news for a while than got into a movie. I think I have done enough Spinerval workouts to get me into shape. Now I will just put in the long weekly mileage. Believe that should get me where I want to be.
Made believe I was a real biker, and shaved my legs yesterday. Did it once before when I was training for the Ironman. The reason is mainly that if I fall, there will be no hair there that can cause infection. Also I should be able to get better massages with no hair on my legs. Anyway my hairy legs are no more. At least till August. This week was my most mileage ever. I am getting close to 400 miles for the week.
Crunches: 300
Push ups: 50
Total Distance: 45 miles
Total Time: 3 hours
Total Weekly Distance: 353 miles
Total Weekly Time: 23 hours

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".
