Keeping up with it

I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm keeping up and moving forward. I did a lot this week. :) Note my speed, mileage and other stats are a little "low". I have decided that a few times a week, I will spin in my trainer and concentrate on just spending time in the saddle, consciously remaining in a fat-burning heart rate zone the entire time to take some more weight off. Every ounce less I weigh is an ounce less I have to pull the 545 miles in June. :)

The Resurgence of X-Training

So after my ass was handed to me on Saturday's ride... I was toast that day and Sunday. But I woke up at 5:30 (sometimes I wonder, WHY?) and was at the gym and on the treadmill by 6:00 AM today. I knocked out 30 minutes of intervals running - so ran for a total of 12 minutes. Not bad, considering I haven't done intervals on Clyde in almost 3 weeks and I haven't run in about 2 months, at a minimum.

I gotta step EVERYTHING up - not just mileage on the road.

Total mileage
Cross training

It's time. The ride is only 68 days from today. HOLY SHITE!

Lagunitas and White's Hill

This was my farthest ever gone, my hilliest ever climbed, my worst mood I've even been in on Clyde, EVER. The planets were NOT aligned. My stats don't look so good - but, I made it. I stayed on my bike and I powered through. PERSEVERANCE. IT WILL BE MY SAVING GRACE!
