Ice cream in March.

This was today!  It’s like summer.  I only needed a light jacket this morning to go to the gym.   I did Workout A today and I am already feeling stronger.  The goal is to increase the weights or reps on a few exercises each time to challenge yourself.  Maximum of 12 reps per [...]

Not so manic Monday

I am glad everybody enjoys the ride posts. Of course, not all of where we ride looks like the road to the Emerald City, but I really am not going to take a picture on a busy road getting to the path.  Or maybe I will some day 

Monday rolls around again.  I cannot [...]

70-mile ride and parades!

First off, thank you all so much for your comments on my 100-pound anniversary.  Nothing like tooting your own horn, right?   Guess that is what a blog is all about.

Rest days are just as important as the training days, though!  That is when the body makes repairs and builds strength – not on the [...]
