Tuesday 7-12-11

Monday pm.
got home to a hot and sticky early evening. did a few things around the house and said f-it and went out on the road bike.
figured simple recovery ride.
after about 10 minutes to get loose i was drilling it. felt pretty solid.
reeled it in after about 45 and spun home better than recovery but not crazy fast.

just under 20 miles with a low 17 average. not so bad for 95 with 200% humidity!

will probably get out on 2 feet tonight. maybe head down to the park for a loop. haven't run the trails in a while and might be able to catch a little shade.

peace!

Monday 7-11-11

weekend wrap up

Friday night was fixing the a/c and watching the bad ass t-storms roll thru!
no run or ride due to the crazy weather!

Saturday
got up early and got out on the road bike for 25 miles. was thinking of heading into jersey for a longer ride but had a few other things to get done so kept it on the shorter side.
ran a few errands and then mowed the lawn in the now blazing heat! push mower marathon for time!

Sunday
mountain bike ride from the shop
24 miles.
did a tour of the racecourse. conditions were stellar. considering the crazy rain on Friday. good stuff. felt great. made all the climbs on the course and was riding solid.

Monday
forgot to turn the alarm on! oops reset it to 4 but never turned it on.
oh well.
will get out for a run later and mow the back yard so that will have to do!!

really liking the little change of pace. getting to play outside and utilize some of the strength i have built in the gym. great time of year to be outside in NY!

peace

Friday 7-8-11

Thursday recap.

evening road ride.
25 miles at 18mph average.
hot and steamy out there but felt pretty strong. legs getting used to the bike again.

Friday
no gym this am. plan was to get up and run if not raining. it wasn't raining but i couldn't sleep last night. lots on the mind currently....... so i got up late and just went to the office.

probably another road ride or run tonight so long as the t-storms hold off.

need to clear the head.
going to get some stuff done around the house over the weekend and try to get some miles in.

Happy 4th of July!

Saturday.
Stewart DH40 loop with some of the jersey boys.
30 miles. legs went to poo at about 26. took the road back after that point. good solid ride. 3+ hours on the ss in the woods. humid. was totally spent at the end. shot. empty.
need to think more about fueling on the bike....

Sunday

went out with the intention of getting a clean gps file of the course but bailed due to the shit conditions. ended up with about 17 miles of random stewart goodness.
good times, soggy but good...

Monday
spent about 4 or 5 hours clearing trails with a weed-whacker. super humid. argh.
sweated like a bear.
brutal.

Tuesday.
back to work. no gym this am. slept in instead and will get out on the roadie after work for a little spin.
