I ate a baked spud today,and my usual bowl of special k. I did walk to get my car from the mechanics shop after the put new brakes on. Does that count as exercise?

A good read for those who use protein powders and eat processed foods

Geez, I had no idea... good thing I've never had a MSG reaction. It's def. not on the labels of any of the supplements I've been using.

Longer days mean more sunshine and more time to train! I've been dedicated to getting up every morning at 4am and out on the road cycling by 5:15am.

As such, I have time to train 30-50 miles a day, do a quick weight routine (3 days a week), shower, make lunch, and still gingerly make my way to work on the Monster without much rush!

The only kicker is that last night it was 7pm and I was ready for bed!!

Two weeks away!!!

Still need to get a bunch more seat time in.

I know I'm not going to win, but I'd still like to finish.

Run (1.8 ), bike (10.2), run (1.8 ), bike (10.2), run (1.8 )

Been swimming, cycling, and running a lot more the past few weeks. I'm feeling as good as ever!

Just staring this combination. Hoping I'll be able to say the same in a few weeks
(might help if I back off the beer and wine and chips and cheese and....)

You and me both! I just signed up for a boot camp at the park near my place. 0600 3 times a week.

Can't wait!

Up at 4am, out on the road for a training ride by 5:25am - did 33 miles this morning before work! Burned 1094 calories, and had an average of 19mph.

I love how it feels to start a day with the sun cresting the mountains as I'm out on a ride - it's completely refreshing!

DesmoDiva · May 16, 2011, 04:12:25 PM

Sounds great Dave!!!

Guess no one wants to hear about my last two rides in sub-50 temps in the rain.

Pulled out my winter tights for today's ride.

Monster Dave · May 16, 2011, 04:21:58 PM

Thanks Diva!

Hey way to go yourself for keeping up with it even in the crappy weather. I hate riding in the rain...

You're almost there though!!

I rode 50 miles on Saturday. With 3,000 ft elevation gain along the way.

The temperature at the start was somewhere just above 32*. There was also a slight breeze involved.

IMO, any day on the bike is a good day!

Just to remind every one what this thread is about...

*Note, this is not a how to-let's not get into a debate over methods.

Are you out of shape?
Race leathers unusually tight?
Those stairs getting steeper?
Have random strangers stopped asking for sex?
Can't see your junk?

It's time to do something about it.

Post up here-set a goal, let us know how yer doing.

For example:

I'm tired of being sore and tired, so I've been running/weights for the last month or so. It's starting to pay off.

Ultimate goals are:

Drop weight from 210 to 190
Be able to run 5 miles in less than half an hour.
Pick up Paula's dirtbike with her on it (300 or so pounds).

So basically, get back to where I was 5 years ago.

Up at 4am, had 3 whole eggs and 3 whites scrambled for morning fuel, then rolled out for a 20 mile training ride by 5:15, was back by 6:30ish, did a 30min weight routine, made lunch, rode the Monster to work!

Another great morning!
