Day 2 of base, and more wonderful weather. Went to the gym yesterday and hit a recumbent bike for 45 minutes. That sucked, worse of all it made my back sore. Mental note, Gym bikes suck, and no matter how much you try to do some "secret squirrel training " by riding one, it never really satisfies.
On the trainer this morning I noticed my legs. As a normal ego manic cyclist, I always thought my legs looked pretty strong, you know for a hack, single speeder, medium sized fish in a small pond, if you know what I mean. But this morning as I spun away on the trainer all I could think about was the Stay Puft marshmallow man. That's what my thighs reminded me off. Probably doesn't help that my thighs haven't seen daylight in 6 months...
Any way, I meet with Slick Rick tonight to look at my season plan. He had some good ideas when we talked Sunday. I'm very excited. Been dieting pretty hard to get back to my fatmarc climbing weight, so no really good burritos lately, although I have been dreaming about them. Saturday I had a very good buffalo chicken wrap from the grasshopper cafe... yeah not only was I not riding I was eating badly. A wrap isn't quite a burrito, but maybe distant cousins ? They put celery on it which is the devil's food, otherwise it was top notch.

is celery bad?
why?
every winter my wife and I head down to visit her parents as they are down in Florida for the winter
to me this trip often marks the beginning of spring
I shave off the beard and start working out
being bikeless in Florida I try running on the beach
if it is spring break the "girls gone wild" crowd make the minutes go by faster
but the tendancy is usually more towards "AARP Gone Wild" which has wrinkles that an iron could not help
being pale only makes me look like a beached albino whale
that said...
I could be riding instead of commenting on this BLOG
choices...
so many choices
so often I make the wrong choices
Hey stay-puff,
I feel your pain. And dammit, I've been working out for the last 6 weeks, when does the &%*(#@ fat go away and I turn into a lean mean, triathlon machine?
Good luck on the recovery, I'm still hoping you'll be at Cx next year!
Cheryl
