went for late afternoon run. westbrook rd to unity/ mudlake thru odessa to taylor kidd and to mel's parents. good ride, windy, but maintained a good pace. over 30 km/h h the whole way. had problems with front wheel the air in the tube was off and stopped twice to let air out and pump it back up. that killed my momentum and some time. good ride overalll tho.

uphill grind work out. completed the entire session this time. felt great. found it hot in the basement even with the fan on me. i've done the uphill grind video a few times now and i feel stronger on it and i truely believe it is making a difference when out on the road.

did a light spin. and some hill type intervals on the indoor bike today. late leaving work (4am) and not able to ride in before work today, but managed to get a decent ride inside.

it'll most likely be the same tomorrow as i have the girls, but i may pass on the bike to do a upperbody, i need to increase my core work as it's been lacking.

did unity to montreal over the locks to hwy 2 and in. very good ride except that until i hit hwy 2 i suffered from a real minor stomach cramp and it would not go away. i think i ate too late prior to going out and was just too full. over the course i felt good then a little tired then good again, but the wind was sort of all over the place and i'm sure that had something to do with it. nice to get outside for a ride for a change. the three bigger climbs today i felt very good on. burbrook rd climb is a killer and i went up that fast and recovered well on cordukes rd. battersea was alittle slower but the wind was in my face. the hwy 2 climb at abbey dawn was a steady tempo ride up. i hooked up with a guy at the intersection and i paced up behind him and he was given it all and struggling and i maintained a nice even pace. it was nice to make a comparison to someone else to gauge my fitness.

planned on ride to work. thunderstorms in the forecast and had to pass for an indoor session. really went hard today on 33 mins of spinervals session. i couldn't finish because i simply ran out of time to prepare for work. looking back the weather held off and i could have ridden in.

it was a good workout regardless. hope tomorrows clear as i'm ready for ride in.

did spinervals uphill grind. home all day with girls, mel working. madeleine slept and then woke up so didn't finish the workout. i missed about 10 mins. the missed workouts and the missed rides outside are starting to bum me out a bit. the weather has been an issue and now it the shorter days that are going to be a problem for me.
