Where Have I been???

Oh like your really care!!

Just hidin' out and layin low. To be honest, my lack of prose has been offset with a somewhat increased busy schedule, coupled with some serious breaks in the weather, and then to smooth over the time spent on the bike with my BEAUTIFUL BETTER HALF. (yes I'm told to be mushy)

But paybacks are hell..

Anyhow... I think it's been about two weeks since I posted. I'm in the Base III period of my plan now. Well now I'm practically over it. The big difference here - if you even care - is a little more duration and some higher intensity workouts - Z4 for me. To make it sound not so spiffy, add two Zone 4 interval workouts each week.

To be honest, this is good and I can see the point, however, when the weather breaks and it's 70 degrees out, one rides for two hours, then the next day these interval rides are hard for me. But I'm also a puss.

I didn't print out to review what I did two weeks ago, so I'll only bore you with what I did last week, and what's going on this week.

03.05.07

Monday - knowing I had a training class in Clarksburg on Tuesday, I decided to ride out at Kanawha State Forest, here in Charleston after work. Then go to Grafton to visit my old man. So after work that's where I went, my normal thing is to ride up Middle Ridge fire road and start out that way... well there must have been some gas well issue as that route was closed. So up the fireroad which was fresh bulldozed mud. I think it took me 18 hours to get to the top. However the Edge worked fine.

03.06.07

Tuesday after my class I stopped in Roanoke West By God to check out Stonewall Jackson State Park. Well I found one nice trail - Heavnor's Orchard Trail. This trail was about 3.5 miles long mostly all single track, and very scenic. If it wasn't so cold out, I would have probably turned back around and rode it back the way I came. But because I'm a _____ss I didn't. My feet were cold and headed to the car. But most of the pics here are from that ride.

03.07.07 - NOTHING Didn't do crap.. however it wasn't supposed to be a day off, tried working out in the evening but I guess I was too tired, so decided to catch up on some 24, and Heroes that were DVR'd.

Thursday was nothing special...

03.09.07 Friday - the weather was awesome, took off work a few hours and managed a nice little road ride for just over 2 hours. Then dinner with some of the betterhalf's friends.

03.10.07 Saturday - another two plus hour day in the sun... this time it was an intentional flat ride as on Sunday I want to do some intervals. After this ride, it was dinner at Red Lobster with the betterhalf's parents, and a baby shower or birthday or something with some other relatives. Noteworthy stuff really, if you want to hear about it you can pay me.

Sunday - well I guess I was too tired for the intervals because I stunk up the joint on that workout. So managed to ride some hills, then proceeded to drink more beer and some errands around the house.

So to conclude that week...

227lbs, about 120miles on the bikes.

New Week

Now just to catch up, I'll make this short story that much longer.....

Monday, rode after work on an empty stomach - well I basically bonked..... cut the ride short and came home and ate some Reese Cup Easter Eggs, and a salad.

Tuesday - well that's today, I'll tell you later.
