Been hitting the pool due the foot problems.  Still waiting to get MRI   

Walked to work (2mi) today, paying for it now.

I'm probably better off cutting out my three daily fap sessions than spending a bunch on anything at GNC, but if Cytomax lets me do both....   

Fortunately Cytomax is relatively cheap ~ $15.99 for a 24oz container.

back to the workout tomorrow. play soccer on sat, workout on sun, soccer mon, workout tues, soccer weds, workout thurs, soccer sat...repeat (except for the monday soccer part)

Hit the gym last night for a routine on my shoulders, back, triceps, bicep, and abs.

This morning I got up early and cycled 20 miles to work on rolling hills. It was great weather out - low 60's w/ a light breeze - I love the mornings that start like that!

It was a great ride, I averaged 18.6mph according to my cycling computer and my heart rate monitor reads that I burned 1,184 calories.

The ride home will be about 35-40 miles because I like to take a more challenging route to wrap up my day of riding. Besides, when it's this nice outside who could resist being out and enjoying it! It's not even the first day of spring yet and we're expected to see a high of 81 today!

No idea about seats, I got lucky with mine and the stock seat is fine. I've ridden 100+ miles on it in one day and felt alright, but after that much distance, I can't imagine that anyone would be much more than 'alright' lol.

i liked the selle italia i had until i fell too many times and broke it.
apparently that saddle wasn't meant for a mtn bike.

Purchasing ball sucking seats is illegal in many states. Nevada has some bike shops where they're sold legally, if I remember right.

Seriously, finding a seat that fits isn't easy, can get expensive very quickly, and unfortunately, what works for me might not work for you -- in fact, my old favorite Selle Italia Turbo not only isn't available any more, but doesn't seem to fit me anymore anyway. These days, I'm fairly happy on a Fizik Arione saddle, but I'm still ISO something better. A better fit for me, that is.

Before you spend money on a new saddle, try tweaking the position a little bit. For me, dead level or tilted slightly nose-high work best, the latter because it tends to shift my weight back onto the rear, which is what should be bearing most of your weight, on the ischial tuberosities, AKA sit bones on your pelvis. It might also be a good investment to have a bike shop do a fitting on your current bike, because what sometimes shows up as saddle discomfort is often really just bad saddle height, bar reach or something else amiss in your position.

If you do need a new saddle, expect to go through several before you find the right match. Ask around for a bike shop that is willing to let you test one out for at least a couple of weeks and return it if it's not working -- shops with that policy aren't the norm, but they're out there, most likely a shop that caters to road racers & folks who buy high-end road bikes.

Some people swear by Brooks saddles and other stretched leather-on-frame saddles -- I've never ridden one, despite my retro-grouch reputation (mainly, I'm just painfully cheap). The theory is that, over a few thousand miles of torture, the saddle eventually conforms to you and you then live happily ever after. As I said, no FHE here.

Worked out again-still keeping it at least to three times a week, though the days are at random.

i have never liked pushups.
mainly because i have never had much in the way of upper body strength.

this is still true. when it came time for them i got maybe 15 the first round, 8 the second, and then barely got another 8 for the 3rd.
