Lance Armstron wrote a book entitled "It's not about the bike" in which he talked about his cancer and how it put things in perspective for him. Well I'm here to say that in fact it IS all about the bike. :) This week I've put in 6 hours in the dungeon (2 hours, monday, 2 hours wednesday, 2 hours friday) and I'm not done. I think I'll just go to the gym today with Jared and do some weights and then head back down to the dungeon tomorrow morning for another 2 hours. It's helping me lean up and since I can't run this week it's good to be able to do that! On Wednesday I took the speedometer sensor off the front wheel and put it on the back and moved the display unit close enough so that it reads the signal and off I went, actually seeing my speed. It was tough! Right away I realized that some of my recent workouts down there have been mediocre and I forced myself to get an avg of 30+ for two hours. Wednesday was 31.1 for two hours, yesterday was 32.5! THAT was a tough workout. I love it down there, lots of inspiration on the walls and I bring my laptop down with me to watch some videos.
It's been a year since my first marathon. Yep it's race weeknd in Ottawa. I wish I was there for it because, well A) I want another shot at running that course in 3:10 and B) I just love the whole atmosphere of this weekend. I'll be checking tomorrow night for peoples' results as many friends are running it.
