I was hoping to do 30 minutes this morning but the furnace service guy showed up early so I only got in 15 minutes. Tried to make the most of it by doing power intervals.

Well i got 30 minute depleted ride in this morning. My voice is gone, but I feel well enough to do another hour tonight. Yeehaw! Back on track!

[Reesha]

hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you

Good job, Reesha! That's something I struggle with - if I feel icky at all, I hate to exercise!

13/14 for me. I know Saturday will be a rest day - working pretty hard until then. 40 minutes tonight spinning 90 rpms. Mid zone 3.

Going to bed early, then getting up and doing some. In spite of the fact that I really should have done at least something after the departmental lunch (so. much. tasty. food), I was in no fit state to do so--it was all I could do to keep from lying down for a nap when I got home.

Feel better, Reesha!

Did my hour watching Arrested Development tonight. Feel like I have good energy, just no voice. Yelling (or trying) over students in the lab didn't help today.

Last 2 days were bad. Although I got on the rollers, it was a real struggle to make it through 30 minutes. Today was ok - I got into a bit of a rhythm. I'm not going to lie - I love the feel of biking outdoors but biking indoors is pretty brutal. This log is the only thing that forces me to ride -- otherwise I may have given up already! Thanks Veronica!

Oh, I hear you. I don't have the additional problem of trying to keep myself on rollers (I'm a klutz and would probably injure myself), and it's a struggle. Mental more than anything, but for some reason it's also physically harder. Maybe it's the lack of stop signs for rest or the inability to coast.

14/15. 30 minutes.

Felt like crap today. Could NOT get my HR up. Could be because I did a test ride of a bike outside - but that shouldn't have done this. I would take a rest day tomorrow, but Saturday has to be a rest day (no bike access at all). So - I think I'll take it very easy and short tomorrow unless I feel much better.

I find it's harder on my tush because I totally never realized how much of a break we get when riding outside. Stoplights, coasting, standing up on hills. I hate standing up on the trainer... feels rocky... I like to feel my weight and my bike move from side to side a little bit.

For my needs right now though, the trainer is perfect. My weight loss guru (read: personal trainer) wants me doing mostly low intensity stuff with the exception of weight training twice weekly and a small moderate intensity ride that builds with each passing week. By week six I'll be doing 14 hours of exercise weekly... very little will be hard work.
