I can't believe it's almost February. Where does the time go?
It was raining this morning, so I headed to the gym for a run on the treadmill. But, I've been thinking it's time to get on the bike, as it's a weakness now. At the gym I just hopped on a stationary bike with my music playing, not noticing it was an Expresso machine. I haven't seen one of these before, but you can sign in with an account and basically play a cycling game. I signed in as a guest and picked the "Mini Mayhem" 2.0 mile route. The bike steers and has shifters and was pretty cool. It calculated watts and rpm and all the good stuff. I need to create an account sometime as maybe I could pull my info up online at home (for moments like this). I did 2.03 miles in about 7 minutes, burning 81 calories. I'll have to try that machine again. When this was over I hopped on a treadmill, turned on Sportscenter, and ran at a 6.2mph which is like a 9.6m/m. I ran a couple miles and headed home.
It's hard to do much of a workout unless I have more time. Monday night my wife and I normally watch TV for a couple hours, so I'll try to put the bike trainer up and get in some "saddle time". I'm happy with where my run is now, assuming it will get slightly better by race time. I want to get my bike up now. Also, my right leg has been bugging me, so the cross training will give it a rest.
