Well, today was my fourth training session with Tim, the torture guy, and I had to share what he said to me today.

We started the workout and he said... you've really leaned out. What? Can you REPEAT? Can I turn on my tape recorder so I can replay that over and over again when I'm feeling crappy? Its a funny compliment, but it felt good, like the past 4 weeks of adding in the strength training has actually helped. Maybe he was taking credit!! lol!

All in all, I really have noticed a difference with the strength stuff. I'm feeling a lot more steady and confident on my bike and my runs have been great. I'm really pleased. Now if I could just stretch more... Its always something, isn't it??
