Hey Hey It’s Training Day
Nice quiet day off yesterday. Spent a large volume of time on the couch with Kate, watching the Olympics. Did briefly venture forth to hit the grocery store for snacks, dinner ingredients and some of the stuff for lunches this week.
Training resumes tonight. I’ve got weights, and a 90-minute E2 ride. Easy, but then in the “Prep” and “Stabilization” phases, everything is. We move to Base 1 for the Joe Friel system, and Strength for the weight system, both on February 28th. Thank god. Because light weights and E2 rides are getting pretty goddamned monotonous.
It’s weird, but since I’ve started working out again, a lot of my little aches and pains have gone away, my digestion problems have resolved themselves, and I’m sleeping a lot better. I guess that last item is not much of a surprise, but it’s definitely a good thing.
Tonight, I also need to make time to read Chapters 12, and 14-18 of the Cyclist’s Training Bible.
