Havent been feeling myself for the past few days
. heavy bruising and back twinges. Loading and Unloading training equipment for work today didnt help. But I just didnt feel like sitting around all evening, so we went for a short 6 mile road ride
. some nice rollers with a couple of good moderate hills. Despite the hills, we kept the average pace at over 17 mph, and just coasted down the hills, so the average speed wasnt padded much (max speed 24mph).
When I hit the hills, I didnt change gears, but instead forced myself out of the saddle to power over the top. This help toast my quads pretty fast, but in a good way.
Lately, weve ODd with LSD on our LHTs or weve been doing entirely too much long slow distance mileage on our touring bikes on the relatively flat rail trails. Ill never get my legs any stronger like that, so this short intense rolling hill workout was just the ticket we needed for a change of pace!! Also I think I finally have my Black B17 saddle dialed in nicely. I road without any padded shorts just compression shorts and gym shorts .. NICE!!
Heres to Rockin the Rollers!

Tonight we parked on the top of the "Hill of Death" and did the trail to Lebanon, along with the medium hill climbs and rollers through the Industrial Park. Nice Short Intense workout and good competition with Penny!

Saturday 9/12 - Lots of walking as a spectator @ my best friend's triathalon. She did an olympic tri - it was really inspiring to watch and I am considering training for one, if only a sprint.
Sunday 9/13 - Walk/Run - C25K (30 minutes). 2.2 miles and unsure about calories.

Sarita... What did you say the C25K was?
Today, my back was still tight.... but didn't want an intense bike ride. Focused on relatively easy spinning and testing some tweaks to the touring bikes.
16 miles, 1hr 10min
