Well, it's been a week since my last update. Hooray for Friday!!!
Went biking on Saturday, Monday, and yesterday. Saturday I went with Danny at Starkey Park Trail. I really didn't want to ride. After the first half mile I was already wanting to turn back. But we pushed on and eventually did a 15mi. ride. I think we could have gone longer but I was worried that the weather was going to turn bad (me and my paranoia. Anyway that was a good ride. I can't remember what I did on Monday (i guess I should write in here more often). Oh, I remember now. I got a short fast ride in. Maybe 45 min. at a faster pace that normal. And yesterday I went with Jess to Walmart to get milk. It's about a 5 mile ride. She went at a pretty good clip and I get a pretty good workout. When we got back home I went around the block at the fastest speed I could maintain.
Well, that's my workouts for the last week. Maybe I'll post tomorrow after my ride.
That is all.

Intensity
I guess that even small changes in intensity and taking breaks can make a fairly big difference. 2 hours of biking at an aproximate 9 mph with breaks every 5 miles or so seemed a bit easier than 1 hour at 11-12 mph with no breaks. Or maybe it was because I did the latter the day after I did the former... Hmmmm.
That is all.
That is all.

Hello again!
Well... I took some time off due to my wedding and now it's been 4 months. It's time to start exercising again. Since I haven't done anything for 4 months, my knees are too weak to run(probably my shins too). So, it's biking now. Started last Wednesday with 3 of my friends and went out to a paved trail. We did about 9 miles in an hour. Not bad for a first go at it.
Since then I went riding Thorsday, Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I hope to be riding 6 days a week taking Friday's. I figure I have more time on the weekends, so why take those days off.
Anyway, I went about 18ish miles miles yesterday with Danny on the Starkey Trail. It was about a 2 hour ride. Kinda slow but that was with waiting for the ranger to leave so we could sneak in the the park and with a few rest breaks.
Tonight I'm biking with the wife. I figure I'll go for about an hour with her at a slower pace and then take another 2 hours at a moderate pace with some intervals thrown in.
I hope I keep both this blog and my fitness training going. Being winded after walking around Walmart sucks. Plus the ultimate goal is to be strong enough and have enough endurance to be able to practice parkour. Hey, maybe one day I'll enter a Triathlon! (maybe?)
