Shameful but getting back on track

Shit it's been a Loooooooong time. Too long. But now that it's into Feb, no time to waste on procrastination and/or excuses of feeling ill, cold, stress from personal life, etc. I got up and did it, and if the damned rain will still stay away this Sat, me and two of the 'bos are going to do a 36 miler. It should really kick my ass, but gotta start back up somewhere...

Here are my stats for today:

Day - Wednesday, 2/6
Ride Type - Indoor Training
Ride Distance - 13.18 miles
Ride Length - 1:00:00
Avg Speed - 13.2 mph
Avg Cadence - 87.7
Avg Heart Rate - 152
Time above zone - 00:00:00*
Time in zone - 0:00:00*
Calories burned - 836
Total Training Distance To-Date: 438.7 miles


*I still haven't figured this out yet - I know - Lame! I'll do it later.

Holiday Hooker

I bagged. I went to bed last night with my full indoor training set up all ready to go. Bike in the Trak Stand. Water bottles in their holders. Cycling gear laid out, ready to be pulled on.

I lay awake and thought about it. I'm going to get up. No I'm not. Yes I am. No, I'm beat.

I reset my alarm clock for 6:30 am and rolled over into the delicious warmth and softness that is my bed (ask the only boy who's sleeping in it with me over the past month - he's a fan). And I slept.

Then I was faced with the shame of having to dismantle and put away all my gear and set-up when I woke up. Sad, Mac. I'm lame.

But then in my defense, I have to remember 3 things:
  1. I rode an hour of cardio intervals on Tuesday
  2. I'm going for the short Lake Merced Loop (20 miles) on Sunday
  3. I'm going for on the Tiburon/Paradise Loop (40 miles) on Monday

That's decent, right? Maybe I'll go running at the gym tomorrow. I haven't done that in a while.
