2 Dayz

Well I've taken two days off since my last rides on Tuesday.

Tuesday, I spinned on the trainer getting about 40 min in Z3.

Wed: was Valentines Day.. I intended to get up early to ride prior to work, however the evening spent at Ruby Tuesday's beer did not allow me such a luxury. So basically Wed Eve... it was a love fest in at the Embassy Suite's in Charleston - the managers special of free drinks and snacks from 5:30 to 7:30 was great. Dinner at Gratzi's where we proceeded to have 2 Bottles of Chianti (spelling??) I think I consumed 75%. As once back to the room I was out like a light.

Thur: back to work, but tired.. once home decided to forgo the riding and catch up on my TV watching. So popped popcorn, shot diet to hell. Watched 24, The Sandlot, CSI, and portions of Grey's Anatomy. The glory of DVR.

Friday... well now back to the grind. Need to get some workouts in, clean a bike as I think I'm going to try Diesel's KT ride on SAT morning. I'll start from my house and hopefully end up in Frazier's Bottom - We'll see, and we'll let you know.

So with 2 Days off I think I'm little motivated to get back on the bike.

TWO A DAYZ

Ok...

The morning came early today... 4:30am. wHY. I have an I-D-10-T problem.

Decided to get early and get a spin in prior to work. Typically I feel better when I do so at work. Plus I wanted to get a couple of hours in today (+/-). So split it up a bit.. TWO A DAYZ

I do this some, helps break the monotony up some.

So this morning spinned for about 45 min to the beat of the Spinerval's Ride Strong tape with Team Clydesdale. I'd like to tell you this was exciting but it wasn't.

This eve, I hope to do a Tempo Ride, about 40 minutes in Z3 plus warming up and cooling down. May add a short jog just to get things moving.

Then I hope to watch last eve's 24 and House. Wonders of DVR

Well for starters it's now Monday, and starting a new week. Once again.. this is the big week. But before I get into that... let's recap the last week.

Of course it started off torn to shreds as I've mentioned, I think I wanted to do about 11+ hours, but between snow, work, woman, etc it ended up being about 9 hours.

But I do think I was able to have more productive workouts in most cases.. So we'll see.

Didn't manage to get "outside" much. I'm a puss when it comes to the cold. Other than a few jogs and the occasional ride outside my time was mostly spent on the trainer.

Spinning machine.

The weight I don't think I watched as much or I may have hit a little plateau. The hope was to hit the 229 mark, but I'm hovering right around 234 / 233 . I'll crack the 229 this week.

So for the totals of this snowy blizzardy week that I mostly saw from the basement window:

114 Miles on the Bike (98% of it I'm sure was on the trainer) 4 miles of running / jogging trotting, etc.

So what's in store this week? Well it's singles awareness day on Wednesday. So I guess I have to get on the ball to find something for Susan to brag to her friends about. Think maybe a bike ride in the freezing cold?

As I mentioned this is also the long week.. 12.5 hours is the goal. Plus I want to drop below 230.

Of course drink a few.

One recommendation.. check out the Taste Of Asia in Teay's Valley. Ate there twice over the weekend.

yummy
