This is my favorite part of the day. The part that comes right after I get off my bike.

I just finished a good 2 hours at a decent tempo pace. Not enough to really drain the tank, but enough to need a refill. Just right. I have a little bit of that "runner's high" thing going on; I have an appetite; and I'm just a little tired.

Note to self: Stop numbering posts as "Step X"

Today was too nice a day not to ride.

Note to self: Six days between steps is too long.

Have I whined lately about how busy I am at work, and how this huge project is eating up all my free time, and how I have not time to get to the health club and, if I did, I wouldn't have the energy? Have I been a cry baby about this recently?

I hope not.

What a difference a year makes. This time last year I was struggling through my workouts barely able to complete a single hour at a decent base-building power level. This year's a completely different story.

Okay, technically this should be Step 3.

It seems like only yesterday I threw a leg over my bike and declared it was time to put in a whole slew of nice, easy winter miles. I've lost count of the hours and miles since then. Mainly that's because the last 3-4 weeks have been strictly indoor riding; and I just can't bear to tally up miles and hours and cadence and power for every ride.
