| No running for two weeks - bruise still stiff and prominent goose egg. Maybe I should start doing some easy runs so as to not lose every bit of running capability. |

Friday May 2 |
| biking 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| rode over to hill club ride in kirkwood, but had flat issues, so that kind of deflated my morning. managed to limp back to nursing home, then bus. |
| biking 45:00  | |
| |
| Decided to do another workout in view of my less-than-pumped up morning ride. 6 interval laps at Tues Nite course w/ rest lap in between @ 1:50 - 1:55. True, there was a fierce south wind that felt like a headwind from many different directions (???), but this still seems really slow. 'B' race lap times a few races back were 1:35. Oh well, got to start somewhere.
Score: Slimy thoughts 10 vs. God thoughts 11. Why do people sit in their cars in the park w/ the engine running and the windows open for at least twenty minutes????...oh, never mind. |
| Note | |
| |
| Walked the walk at the nursing home, BUT i've decided to streamline my log. Only going to log things that directly, positively further training for specific events, and just note things that effect peripheral conditioning and energy level.
Otherwise, things get muddled and its too easy to look at total training hours and think the job has been done. |

| yoga 30:00 [1] | |
| |
| 'not counting all the time', from waking to feeling like a stretch here and there and another snuggle under the covers, to a few more organized stretches to a diggety dog and flying marsupial still under the covers, to grapefruit and tea, salutes to the sun, abs, pilates, laybacks on the door molding, etc. etc. |

| Note | |
| |
| Planting spinach in containers, got 50# sack of sand from hardware store. Now how am I gonna get that home? Poured half in 1 saddlebag and put the rest of the bag in the other... Too short of a distance to log. |
Sunday Apr 27 |
| biking 3:45:00 [3] | |
| |
| started at manchester and reis, rode down reis to castlewood, kiefer creek, st. paul all the way down to the tracks by the river so i could savor the nice hill back up, then ridge (very pleasant rural appearing rolling low traffic street) to old state, pierside, old manchester, woods, melrose to greensfelder.
then my hands started freezing and the road was getting slick, ('oh, oh, what the...i can see my breath') so i passed on greensfelder time trial loop and hill down to 44, and reversed it back to fathers house in kirkwood, where i thawed out my toes and fingers...and then one final burst home. |
