Wee! Did an 84 mile bicycle ride yesterday with some obscene amount of climbing.   

One step closer to the century.    

I did ~7900', you did ~6800'.

Ahh, that's 1300' more then I thought, good enough reason for my legs to still be quivering.   

just like to point out that we recently jumped on the 'get fit' bandwagon

i really haven't done any routine excersize for quite a few years

so we are starting slow - went on a nice hike with the dog and ran for 2 minutes

today we are going to do multiple 2 minute intervals and continue this for the rest of the week

next week - 4 minutes
week after - 6 minutes
and so on

hopefully we can keep it up

Cho can dooo it!

day 2
done
though we didn't do multiple intervals - dog was a PITA
he might  have to stay home next time

Bike to work, then to physical therapy, then home.

rinse and repeat.

It's a glamourous life indeed!

I did a sprint Tri this Sat. 1/2mile swim, 14.5 mile bike 3.5 run.

I did it in 1hour 16min and some change. I shaved 13 minutes of my time last year! I was pretty stoked still far from any podium finishes but woring out through the winter has helped I think. I really need to work on the swim, I could probably save 2-3 minutes there but I hate swimming as a work out.

You sound like Nate.

You sound like a record with a skip.

wow, Nate.  for a second there, I thought you were jumping on the old fitness bandwagon too.

turns out, you were just f'n with MrI.

You know me better than that Randy.

I'm doing my first sprint tri on 8/8.  Trying not to set my expectations too high. 

Well I decided that my progress isn't coming fast enough so I added a 4th day to my strength training and am going to bump my bike rides up to every day except leg days.

Saturday mornng was my first 4th day and I have to say that dragging my 95 lb solid ball of muscle trainer across the parkin lot 3 times for sprints whacked me pretty good. But in my defense I also broke 500lbs for my max on Leg Press. The Gym's record is 760lbs...I think it is doable if my knee can hold up...it was pretty sore all day Sunday.

End of Month 2 measurements: dropped anoother 3.2% body fat, biceps are 1 1/4 inches larger, chest is up 1 3/4 inches, thighs are up 1 inch each...and most importantly, my waist has dropped 2 inches!

Thanks and good luck! I hope you catch a break and it is not to darn hot and humid where ever you live!

ZLTFUL: Good work on the measurements. That is awesome!

Still chugging along here!
Finally snagged myself a door mounted pullup bar and surprised the hell outta myself.  Never been able to do more then 3 or 4 pullups in my life.  First time I got that thing in the door frame I could do 10!
Climbing is apparently making a difference.   

Also had to laugh, another thing I could never real do in high school was the rope climb, yesterday just playing around I attempted to climb the one at the gym.  Went up that thing like a monkey. 
While I was slapping the top rafter all I could think was "That's it?"   

Currently I'm at 174 pounds and waist is smaller then while I was 168 (and on the vicodin diet  ).
Think I'm just going to keep on doing body weight excersizes and bicycling for awhile, goal is still to get to a cut 170 pounds. 

Next goal; Somegirl has a nice lil century ride laid out in the mountains with a healthy 8000' feet of climbing.  I'm all over it. 
(Wanna take bets on what mile my legs turn to jello?   )

Better Stronger Faster   

Awesome!!!

Keep up the great work, Jammen.
