Two Wheel Blogs

Lately it has been the battle within trying to fit workouts into my schedule. Between holidays, work schedules, short days, and ever increasing kid's sport/activities, fitting workouts in has become difficult.

I realize that as difficult as it may be, it is absolutely imperative for my well being that I get a few quality workouts done each week. Last night I succeeded in fitting one in.

My wife took my son to piano practice and I knew that I had an hour to kill it before I had to take him to scouts last night. I suppose this sort of motivation will help a rider to get the most out of his time and not skimp due to high PE. The thought being that time is short so make the most of it.

The workout was a simple one. It consisted of riding the rollers and grabbing a harder gear at the end of every third song. The key is to start in a fairly difficult gear after warm up. I ascended through enough gears to get to that point where something was telling me that I had accomplished my objective. That something was a major dose of ascending pain (the good kind) and a diminishing ability to hold a line on the rollers. If you get too tired on rollers, even the best rider will fear crashing...I may not be the best rider, but I nearly came off the drums twice so I decided that at the end of the third song I call it quits.

After a hasty shower, I took Ben to Scouts. An hour and a half later, we were back home and heading to bed. I slept like a rock (or any other lifeless object for that matter).

I guess in the end, I know exactly where the day went...I have to keep track of them with an online calendar these days because my brain can not keep it all straight. Perhaps the title should have been "where has my mind gone"?
