train is on the track
life has been crazy hectic lately but i've been managing to get in some riding although it's really just turning the legs and keeping loose. One of these days i'm going to have to get in the red and pop my anaerobic cherry. I have not suffered in quite some time. maybe a CX race should do the trick?
anyway, the kid is great. I've been getting a lot of random texts, emails, etc wishing us luck so thanks to everybody for that. we are two happy parents for sure. it's amazing. The little girl totally has me wrapped around her mini fingers. More to come on that for sure. yikes.
Also, thanks to all my buds that keep me in the loop on the weekend rides and such. I think we've figured out a routine and I hope to get out there in the cold this winter very soon!
i won't bore everybody with my daily routine but I'm learning that early am workouts, commuting, and riding at lunch are all ways to steal a workout in. as a result, i've become a bit more of a planner. i actually ironed 2 weeks of clothes on sunday night. me.
on the training front, i've been trying to keep the legs moving daily. no structure. just ride how my body feels..which lately has been going medium. there will be plenty time to add structure later.
i've also been going to physical therapy to address a hip/lower back issue i've been having for the past few years which has gotten progressively worse this year. it's amazing how weak my right side has become and how much my left leg was over compensating. I'm really hoping that after strengthening this, it will add some power to my stroke.
I'm also going to try to be a better gamjammer and will pick back up with my column shortly so if anybody has ideas of 'what's hot' send them my way. for now, check out the current poll:
