Today was a challenge to get on the bike. Spent last night at my daughters baby sitting my three grand children. Two of them kept waking me up during the night so I really did not get a nights sleep. Got home around three in the afternoon. Went right on the bike. Luckily I was able to watch the US-Canada Olympic hockey game that kept my attention. Was able to do a good steady ride to finish up the week and the month.
Down to 4 months of training before the event starts. Starting tomorrow I am going to really start to watch my diet. I want to be mean and thin for the ride. Will make sure I do my exercises and eat properly. At 64 it will take some good will power to get where I want to be. But I know I can get it done.

Excellent Workout
January 27, 2010,
After a rather easy week on the bike and with my cold better, I had a good hard workout today. Warmed up for about 1/2 hour and then did a 4 hour Spinerval workout really pushing myself. Felt good to get my heart rate in zone 4 and to work for an extended period of time. Actually the workout went real quick. Still rather be outside but today was not to bad.
Crunches: 300
Push Ups: 60

Will the Snow Ever End?
February 25 & 26, 2010,
It started snowing yesterday and it has just stopped today. This is ridiculous. We have had more snow this February than ever before. Global warming? You have to be kidding. Took the day off yesterday because of a cold. Today I felt better. Had an easy bike. Tomorrow will do a hard Spinerval to get back on track. Can't wait to start going outside and biking. We are down to 4 months before the event. I am starting to get excited and a little scared. That makes it fun. The unknown is where the excitement is.

A Sick Day
February 25, 2010,
Today I just felt I had to rest. I have a bad cold and a day off was truly welcomed. By the end of the day I felt a little better. I actually did my core strength exercises plus my crunches and push ups. Rene is making me hot chicken soup for dinner, so there is no doubt that I will be able to ride tomorrow morning.

A Cold Has Arrived
February 24, 2010,
When I was training very hard in running, I always new I had reached a peak when I came down with a cold. I have not had a cold for over two years now, but I guess I most be in great shape because I awoke today with a cold. When I get them, they are really heavy for a couple of days. We shall see. I'll see how I feel tomorrow when I get up. Today I had a good ride. Not easy but not hard, just a good push.

Quality Ride
February 23, 2010,
Did not sleep at all last night. Had my grandson who was coughing at night and had things on my mind. Eventually got out of bed to work out at 6am. Had a long warm up followed by an intense Spinerval workout. With all the Spinervals I have been doing, when I get outside I have to be able to ride long and easy.

Easy Does It
February 22,2010,
Had an easy day today. Started off with my core strength exercises and some weight lifting. Than I rode for about an hour and half. Kept it at a low intensity. Sometimes it is good to just get on the bike and peddle easy. Watched TV while I rode and then called it a day.
