Big Field

I rode today at the Big Field trail.  A few days ago it was 20F out but today it was over 60F!  I'm sure we'll go back to freezing and have a bunch more snow before Spring, so it was good to get out.

Trail sections varied from wet, muddy, slushy, icy, snowy and grassy.  It was very windy in some areas.  My fat tire uni was a good choice.  I rode 4 laps for a total of about 4.5 miles.  Being the first ride of the year I will most definitely be muscle sore and saddle sore.

Starting Cardio

I won't blog about every workout I do, but this evening was my first cardio workout in a long time.  I did a shorter one, but it was tough for me.  I can tell I'm not in great shape.

Yesterday I did my second Stronglifts 5x5 day.
At this rate I'll be the Incredible Hulk by the Spring.

Starting to Workout

I cleaned up my basement workout area today.
I'm starting with Stronglift 5x5, which I had done in the past.  It's all barbell exercises, starting with relatively low weight and slowly adding 5 pounds each session.  The workouts are 3 days a week.  I'll add in cardio at some point too.

My goal is to get stronger for muni in the spring.  A long term goal might be to ride with Steveyo and Robi in the Whiteface Uphill Bike Race on June 4th.  $70 to register?!!  Geez!
