May 5, 2010: Purple Monster

So I decided to make another attempt at the Purple Monster. It is a tough climb. It is about a 2 mile climb but I think it is tough. It goes very steep and seems really long. I did give a little bit more than the last time I tried this ride. I was only [...]

May 1, 2010: 80 mile bike ride

We started off not too early this week at 7:30am. We started in Poway at the Community Park. I had a week off since I was sick last week. I felt refreshed somewhat but had a late night since I was out and only had about 6 hours of sleep. I didn’t feel too crazy [...]

April 10, 2010: 70 mile ride

We started off at the same place today in Carlsbad Poinsettia station. It was a little early for me after coming home late and only have 5 hours of sleep. I knew we were going to ride 70 miles today but I didn’t know how much work we were going to be putting in. I [...]

April 3, 2010: Team in Training 60 mile ride

Well, what do you know a new ride this past Saturday. I did like this ride a lot. It proved a lot of things to me for the last couple of weeks of training though. We started our way at the Carlsbad Pointsettia Train Station. It was a new location to me but I remember [...]

March 13, 2010: 46 mile bike ride

This had to be the toughest ride for me. I was tired after this workout. I wasn’t sore really but I felt tired after. We started our morning in La Jolla at UCSD. It wasn’t early and it wasn’t too cold. I felt a little cold in the morning but once we started it was [...]

March 9, 2010: Spin Class

This spin class was a little different. The coach that I have been doing it with is off to do his Solvang Century bike ride so our coach did it for us today. It was a small group but still good. I changed by bike a bit by lowering the seat to see if that [...]

March 1, 2010: 2 mile run

So my gf and I decided to go for a run. We originally thought that we were going to run at Miramar lake but since I was already sore we decided to run around the neighborhood. We decided on a distance of two miles since she is comfortable with that distance. So we took off [...]

February 27, 2010: Spin Class

Another rain day for us on a Saturday morning. It was earlier than last Saturday. 8am is the time. I got there and we had Kim Mueller come in to talk to us about Nutrition and what we need to do before, during and after our cycling. She gave us a lot of information about [...]

February 25, 2010: 4.5 mile run

Wow, I never knew how tough running this distance at a pace that I normally would run would feel like after not running in two weeks. This run was tough. I felt rushed though. I would have liked to start earlier and stretch a little bit, but time was not on my side. I drove [...]

Feb 23, 2010: Spin Class

Another day at spin class. I thought it was going to be a good day with a good workout. It seemed just the same as thursday workouts to me. We started and got into it and finished with the warm up when somebody to my left fell off their trainer and bike. Everybody just stopped [...]
