Lookin' 4 motivation

Great job, Yoda... one more long run down!

My favorite spinning instructor says to tell yoursel you'll slack next time.

Good job on the run and was the ride a reward?

Haven't gone out for the ride yet. It's p!ssing down rain right now. I'm putting a chilli in the crockpot, once that's done, I'll re-evaluate. I just had my bike overhauled and it's sparkly clean. I don't really want to take it out in the rain.

But I also don't fancy the idea of sitting on the trainer. DH said that he would rent some movies and watch them with me. What I might do is go out on my MTB for a couple of hours then come home and sit on the trainer for one movie.

We'll see.

MTB is a much harder ride, way more intense, at least around here. As well as more challenging mentally. Plus it's a nice change of pace for you.

I think a 2+ hour MTB ride could count for a 4 hour road ride.

Thanks V. TRUE MTB is very hard here too. What I meant was, I would take my MTB out on the road for a spin just because I don't want to get my sparkly road bike dirty after paying for my overhaul.

DH and I have changed our minds though. We're takin' the road bikes out and facing the weather. It's not too cold, just a little windy and wet. We should be fine. He'll ride with me for a couple of hours, then I'll be on my own.

Off we go.

Wow! Good for you for getting out into the weather.
DH and I were off telemarking but the weather was windy, cold, no sun about, so we turned ourselves about and demo'd our fireplace instead.
Heaving a sledgehammer and hauling brick must count for something- at least I hope!
Swimming tonight- now there is no way I'll jam out since you were ( are ) such a trooper!
Thanks for the motivation- hopefully I can pass some your way soon

I finished my 3:53:25 ride, including breaks. It was wet, cold and windy. Another sufferfest worthy of Ironman training. I came home, had my chocolate milk, showered and brought my feet back into the land of the living and promptly passed out for about 1 hour. Now I'm pigging out and I have to go clean my poor bike.

My bike mileage this week: 167.1 km or 104.4 mi - Yiiiipppppeeeee

Thanks for the help everyone.
