Pinner was 6th today. He punctured with 10km to go and only had a 12 for the downhill sprint-wondering what could have been? #

Sitting in hotel rooms

I haven’t done anything for two days. I flew to Atlanta and today I did airport runs picking up Bill and Svein. Now I’m relaxing its 11pm, and I’m with Kev C.

Run run some more

Alright, I’ve missed a couple of days. Sue me.
Got oot today for a 35min run run, exact same as the last run run. I’ve not twittered or blogged for a couple of days because I’m actually really busy. I have to:

Draw some pictures, fix some content
write a report, and clean up some documents
transfer a [...]

Run run

I’m developing a habit of exercising later in the day. I don’t like it, but today was no exception. I went out at 7PM. I ran 35 minutes… over to Ojai and up Musie to Ashley and back. Its the first time I ran the big hill. I felt all right, best I’ve felt on [...]

Get my bike on

45 minutes on the trainer. 167W average, 450 Kjs. Did 2×10min.
I’m not losing much weight, but my pants are starting to fall off, so I’m getting leaner and building muscles…. errr or at least I guess that is what’s happeing. I’m down to 192lb.

I just saw a fly outside. First one of 2008. #

Where’s the love?

Alright, I’ve been reasonably good at this exercise thing. And I’ve passed a big hurdle—its become routine. I don’t need to think about exercising, I just do it. But today I was at the gym and it was just that… routine. There was no love. I didn’t really give a shit about what I was [...]

Bad day on the bike

Knocked out a big 30 minutes on the trainer today. But I felt like ass… I thought this exercising thing was supposed to make you feel better and better. This was my worst feeling day on the bike. 316kjs, 174W average for 30 minutes. I kinda feel like I should punish myself and do [...]

maybe Future publications will help make cycling news more [...]

Gym and no booze

I got home at a decent hour and went direct to the gym. Did the same routine as the last time and the time before that. But this time I started upping the weights. I felt good and I managed not to drink booze today. I did some back extensions instead of leg extensions ’cause [...]

Drunk

So today I didn’t intend to do anything.. so I didn’t. I went to the store and got beer and drank. Earlier in the day I got a call from Sheri. She was stuck in the snow. Not her car—HER. She was walking in the woods with six dogs and slipped off the packed trail [...]

First double day

Today I rode and ran. Started with a 35min trainer ride, similar to the others where I warmed up and then did two blocks at effort. A 15 min step: 5 min @ 180w then 5 min @ 190w then 5 min @ 205w. I rode easy 5 min and then did 10 min @ [...]

A quick run

Beautiful day here in Ottawa. I kind of jones around for a lot of it, and got out for a quick 30min run around 5PM. Sheri went for her first ride today on her new cyclocross bike. Now she wants a brand new Colnago cx bike. Anyhow, it was 12C without a cloud in the [...]

Feeling surprisingly good

And looking remarkably fat. 30 minutes on the trainer, which is 10 more than the first time. Warmed up easy, felt like I was pedaling nice. Did a Russian step: 5min @ 180W, 5min @ 190W and 5min @205W. Rode easy 5min. Finished with 5 more minutes at 215W or so. Did 318Kj for the [...]

30 Minute run

Today I went with Sheri to Eleanor’s house to look for Fuzzy—my dog soul mate—he’s been missing just over a day now and we’re thinking the worst. I snowshoed around the ravine for about 30-40 minutes postholing into deep soft heavy snow. I was a bit exhausted. We didn’t find Fuzz. I ran home along [...]

A bad day

I came home from work at a decent time. I should have gone out immediately for a run or a ski. Instead I sat down to relax. Before I knew it I was done. Had dinner went to bed. No exercise.

Matters not

Matters not the weight does. Only the form and position. Second trip to the gym, same drill as last time-short warm up of some stretching and skipping then 3 circuits—with zero, no weight— of:
