Sat - 17 x 1.5 = 25 fat bike with group from Michael's Cycles in Chaska. Kayaked completely around Fish Lake.
Sun - 4 mile fast walk around Cleary Lake. Kayaked hard across lake and back to beat the rain.
Mon - Rest - a critical part of any training program. Your body needs time to recover.
Tues - 30 miles with Gary, Jan, Jen, Jason and Beth. Room exercises.
Wed - 26 miles, with the first 16 fast with Gary and Buddy Rudy and the last 10 with the Central Minnesota Bicycle Club over Tower Hill (was there a hill?). 5K walk with Wellness Committee at school. Room exercises.
Thurs - 45 km/miles on Keiser spin bike watching a movie in my apartment. Room exercises. I must say that riding with my friends is a lot more fun, although the after-ride festivities don't contribute to weight loss, especially the spread that Lorraine Westrup sets out. Salute!
Friday - Room exercises.
Goal: 80-100 miles during the week, plus whatever on the weekend
Total week miles: 101 during week plus the Saturday fat biking, Weekly goal achieved.
Wondering what "room exercises" means? I do about 20 minutes of yoga, then this week 60 pushups and 60 situps, then some upper body work on my Complete Gym in my apartment. I divide the number of pushups and situps by 5 and alternate 12 pushups, then 12 situps, etc. I will slowly work my way up to 100, and increase the difficulty with the slant board on my Complete Gym.
Tomorrow: Saturday - Michael's Cycles, with Rick, a new acquaintance I met last week, who will be riding with a team of 8 in the Race Across America, riding in 10 mile relays at full speed to finish in 7 days. Wow, just when i think I have set a lofty goal for myself I find I am only a piker.
Reminder: I am counting my fat bike miles as 1.5 times actual for my goal of 80-100 per week due to the greater resistance of the fat bike, and my Keiser "miles" according to the odometer on the machine, even if it is a bit generous. As long as I am consistent, I figure it is close enough.
Excellent start!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am looking forward to riding ODRAM with you. Then DALMAC.
