I Ride for Cancer
Since this is the week between Christmas and New Years and I had time, I wanted to spend the week in heavy training. However, between rain, family commitments, laziness and a head cold, it really didn’t work out that way.
But the down week served as a refocusing week. I took the time to really figure out what I want to do in the next six months for training for the 2012 I Ride for Cancer Ride from Houston to Baltimore as well as open our online store.
Here’s my training for Week 3:
Monday 12/26/2011
No ride or training today. No excuse – just plain lazy.
Tuesday 12/27/2011
Today I did a lot of things with our family. We met some friends at a restaurant and went to the movies to see the Adventures of Tin Tin. By the time we got home, it was too late for a ride. 🙂
Wednesday 12/28/2011
Another lazy day. I ended up going to St. Arnold’s Brewery in Houston with some family members. That ended up taking precedence over biking.
Thursday 12/29/2011
Time to focus. Time to ride. I did a 25 mile ride today on my normal route. 1 hr 12 min. Not too hard, but I did some intervals training.
Friday 12/30/2011
I did a quick 20 mile ride today. It took just a little less than an hour – 55 min. I took a more hilly back road route and had a tiny head wind on the way back.
Saturday 12/31/2011
I had a little head cold this morning – so I decided to forgo the ride. Maybe tomorrow morning.
Sunday 1/1/2012
So this has turned into the ultimate lazy week. Instead of a New Years ride today I decided to lay off and have fun with the kids! LOL – there’s always tomorrow!
