Two Wheel Blogs

I had one of those days at the office yesterday. The kind that starts off by knocking you to the floor and robbing you of your spirit. Motivation for achievement: gone. Energy: sapped away. By the time the corporate treatment was done I was barely hanging on to my will to live.

OK, maybe it wasn't really all that bad, but it was a worse day than usual and it was a Monday. Don't they always seem to go hand-in-hand?

By the time I could free myself from my desk I didn't have time for a ride. Too bad, because the motivation was there. I had a meeting I didn't want to miss that evening and a few other things to attend to - my dinner and two dogs were my responsibility this day. There just wouldn't be time to fit all in. So I channeled my motivation into a nice core strength session.

Time well spent. I did sets of squats, lunges with weights, ab work, a couple of styles of overhead lifts. I even did a few light dead lifts. And the power bands... can't forget the power bands. Those things are killer.

This morning I feel like I had a workout yesterday. No question this core stuff, even though it may not seem like it at the time you're doing it, is hard training. I'm a bit sore this morning; but it's the good kind of sore.

Today's another day, probably like yesterday so far as the office goes. More spirit sucking.

I say bring it. I know how to get it back.
