Winter 2013 stationary cycling

This is it! When I have rest from biking, I don't feel well on the first day. Today I felt my muscles sore (especially the calves) and my interval training failed: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/276189597

I did what I hope is my last ride on the trainer for the winter. Next weekend is predicted to be around 50 degrees F, so DH will redo the bar tape and check the chains on both of my bikes.
If there's any more cold/snow/rain I will either go to a spin class, run, or x country ski, once the trainers get put in the closet at the end of the week.
Did the ascending seated/standing hill interval workout and sweat like crazy. But, I can stand and pedal on the trainer for 3 minutes now, which I couldn't do in December.

I just did my second trainer session of the year. The first was about a week and a half ago, when I rode about 40 minutes while watching Pride and Prejudice (the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle version). My butt hurt for several days afterward.

And then things got busy at work again and I had a visit from my parents for a few days.

But today I rode 45 minute while watching the Spinervals dvd where Coach Troy rides in Baltimore County, MD. For the first time since last October, I genuinely want to go outside and ride my bike. The burnt-out feeling is finally in my rearview mirror.

And a friend just sent me a 20% off gift card for TE....

I love stationary cycling. But Indoor cycling has benefits and disadvantages too.

Your kind words warmed my heart))
