So I have been keeping some really odd hours lately -- for example, this morning I woke up at 4:30 A.M. The better half and I had a really busy day planned, so I knew that getting to the gym was out of the picture. Thus, I did something I have not in a long while -- I retrieved The Black Knight out of my bike room and rode for 50 minutes on my trainer. I kept my heart rate fairly low and just focused on staying in the aerobars and riding at a nice, steady pace. It was definitely very different from the hard core, super-high heart rate spin bike workouts I have been doing lately. It also felt nice to ride on my actual bike, particularly given the fact I am still getting used to the new frame.
Training has been going pretty well the last few weeks. I have been getting in 2-3 runs (one of which is a really short one off of the bike) and 2 bike rides in pretty consistently, as well as a full body weightlifting session (chest, triceps, back, biceps, legs, and abs -- but fewer exercises of each than I would normally do). Oh, and I am currently 178 lbs, which is awesome for me this early in they year, and just 3 lbs over my goal racing weight.
