"Being retired from Biking...isn't that kinda like being retired from recess?" Stephen Colbert asked of Lance Armstrong
Well I did a modest 1100 miles since April-May. This in spite of my back problem. I think its getting slightly better with all the Tai Chi and gyrokinesis work, Pilates like, and all the streching exercises I've been doing.
I've tried to ride everyday this week, company shutdown with no pay. I did take a day off altogether yesterday due to overtraining. I couldn't get my HR up into 180's.
Today went for another short ride of just over 15 miles with 900+feet of climb. My HR stayed above 160 for about 35 minutes. And when I finished, I felt like I could have gone for another 5-10 more miles. The hill work is getting bit easier.
I want to put in 20 miles tomorrow and another 20 on the 31st with about 1300 feet of climbing each day.
I guess I have nothing to complain at my age![]()
. Still, its tad hard that I'm way over the hill. I still hate to admit it though.
