I eased into the first 5 minutes of my spin this morning. My butt muscles were feeling yesterday’s run. The legs finally warmed up and felt fine. They were heavy though the rest of the day so I was anticipating a sloggy run after work.
The drive to the lakes was pretty grim. Wet […]

Tonight’s track session was a brute. The intervals were short but the rests were short too. OCal wanted this wo to be about speed and turn-over and wanted the effort to be close to maximum. 4 x 400m (60″) 1 lap jog, 4×300m (100m jog) 1 lap jog, 4 x200m (30″), (2:50R) 4 x 150m […]

I did a 30 minute spin first thing this morning. I was running a bit late so I asked Juice to make our fruit smoothie while I was on the trainer calling out the ingredients and amounts so it was done just as I stepped off the bike…mmmm!
I decided to give the trails at […]
