January Indoor Challenge

[Anelia]

Yesterday there was nobody to ride with, so I preferred 1 hour stationary bike after the weight training.

I have not reported for two days since one day we closed on a condo and then today was my Bday. So I cake to make and assorted other errands to do. Hibby goes back to work tomorrow, so I plan on getting my hour in.

DH, me, and a friend from our cycle club are getting together 2x a week for a trainer class. I think it is 1.5 hours 1 day and 2 the next day. The program we are following was designed by a cycling coach and is designed for Peak Endurance and climbing. We went to the first "class" on Tuesday and it was a doozy!! I am really looking forward to the class and it was fun to do it with a small group. Our club puts on a trainer class that has a large (30-60) turnout, but it is too far away for me to travel from work. We are also going to continue to spin 2x a week and do our regular weekend rides.

Happy belated Birthday Redrock!

Wow, we had very unusual weather in Michigan for January. 54F+ and I got in a great ride outside today.

It's just amazing what a difference sunshine, breeze on your face and outdoor scents can do for a person. I feel great! How is it that those things make an hour on a bike go by in a couple of blinks and 30 min on the trainer can seem like a l-o-n-g time?

I was gone for 2.5 hours with just a tad over an hour of ride time, the rest was spent sightseeing, watching kayakers on the river, geese and swans and sadly a couple of pretty long phone calls work related but I'd rather be working out in the sunshine anyway

Considering how wild the weather is, and the occasional demands of my neck injury recover, I've decided to use this challenge to focus on my over-all activity level like a couple of others have. I moved my goal up to 30 hours and this includes all formal exercise activities: riding outside, spinning class, indoor trainer, hiking and weights. As I am no longer in personal training, sadly, this will encourage me to keep up with what I know I need to do in all areas.
