First day back from my cold! Still somewhat congested but nothing out of control. Full of energy after my 1.5 days of immobility. Workout was 60 minutes of spinning at setting 15 and 90 RPM interspaced with some standing, about 5 minutes at settings 20 and 21. Broke 700 calories according to the bike – so there’s another goal reached (was about 750 for the hour). I will see if I can move tomorrow.

Just a quick note that no training is happening today due to cold. left work early and taking it easy.

Getting a cold  😐 . Boo, hiss. It’s been creeping up on me very slowly and has decided it’s going to stay. Put in a one hour workout on the spinning bike. Given all the leg rest I was in setting 15 and 16 for most of the hour with about 8 minutes at settings 20 and 21. yes, that’s right: setting 21 for that slow, uphill climb experience. Felt better afterwards than I had thought I would. Definitely needing more H2O with the cold.

I am including today as a training day. We received about 16 inches of snow and I spent about 3 hours moving it to the sides of the driveway. Great upper body workout. Snow days are not for lounging around, but for working out!

Almost forgot to mention that my FitBit filed all my shoveling under “Sport”. Haha, joke’s on it.

No training over the weekend – it was Valentines Day on Sunday. Didn’t make it to Saturday Yoga either. Today was supposed to be a Yoga day and while it technically was, the (substitute) teacher decided to extend Valentines Day and had us doing partner and trust exercises. After sitting on my tush all day I would rather have moved more. I’m not sure this counted as training, perhaps more as another recovery day – 4th in a row. I will be all rested for tomorrow.

Yet another very short session; just 30 minutes again. Spent most of my time at setting 15 and 16 with another 4 minutes at setting 19, broken up into 3 parts. Averaged 23.1 MPH. Life is too busy and stressful to have sufficient time. Maybe next week.

Short time spinning today because I have to deliver dinner at 6:00 PM. Well, I am going to be late for that because I want to get exercise in. So it’s 30 minutes on the bike while peddling rapidly and going nowhere. Spent most of the time at setting 15 and 16 will about 4 minutes at setting 19 and 20. So I guess not all of it was fast peddling. Covered 12.3 miles for a nice MPH of 24.5.

82 minutes of spinning with the tough teacher for 60 of them. At about 5′ 0″ she’s a ball of energy and does everything she’s having the class do so there’s no excuse. Needless to say I make some up so I don’t have to do absolutely everything (such as: I’ve already put in an extra 20 minutes before class). Lots of time at setting 14 and 20 today (yes, more standing than normal). Lots of animal stretching afterwards: lizard, upward dog, cobra, and pigeon. Feeling the thighs.

It looks like I won’t be doing RAW this year since early signup ends on March 1 and I don’t even have a street bike yet! But we’ll see.

Yoga! For 1.25 hours of relaxation and exercise. Ready for tomorrow after 12+5 car ride hours over the weekend? We shall see.

Spent 6 hours in the car and 18 minutes on an elliptical. Not quite training, but some moving. Not much exercise this weekend.
