Rolling thunder...

This morning I awoke to a thunderstorm. I was tempted to skip spinning class but finally drug myself out and got there a minute or two late. It was a good class. I believe I was a little tired after my ride yesterday. I went 8 miles up onto Bull Gap to the 2nd Pinhoti crossing and back. It was a good ride. I averaged better speed for the length of it. Not many more days left before I go to Live Oak.

Sleeping in...

Since there was no spinning class this morning, I was able to sleep later. With only 1 wakeup during the night, I got better rest. Now the weather forecast says there will be rain by this afternoon. That precludes a ride for tonight. Maybe I can get some reading done.

A perfect day...

Today is supposed to be a perfect weather day. High in the 70's. Lots of sunshine. Too bad I'll be working most of it. I had another spinning morning. It was pretty hard to get out of bed today. I awoke coughing about 12:30am. Couldn't get back to meaningful sleep. When 4:20 came, I tried to talk myself into staying in bed. But I got up and went to the AM spinning class anyhow. The class isn't much of a challenge of late. I tried increasing tension to give more of a workout. I hope my knee doesn't hurt because of it.

A very blustery day...

I awoke this morning to the sound of strong winds. I thought the storms had passed but I guess not. Outside, it felt a lot cooler so I guess the winds marked the passage of the cold front. On the trip to Mobile, I got no exercise other than strolling around the Gardens. Once home, I didn't get to do any because Bev was puny on Saturday, so I had to take care of David and all. Sunday she pretty much was the same. Besides, it was Easter and it stormed pretty much all day.

This morning I was back in the gym. I rode a strong ride on the spinning bike this morning. Perhaps I can get away some afternoon this week for more exercise.

Once more....

Another good morning of spinning. I sweated a lot and hopefully got a good workout. Down to Mobile today for a short vacation with my wife. Maybe we can take in some of the local sites.

Another good day of training...

I spun this morning. It left me with a sore knee. I went up on the trail but only was there an hour or so before a storm came up. I saw that the trail team had made a little progress. I guess the next spot is at the FS 600 crossing at 3 mile and 4 mile. I took the rake with me but it didn't seem well suited to raking the trail open.

A good day's training...

I rode the spinning trainer this morning then went to the woods for a ride in the afternoon. Good training. I can see some benefit but I have a way to go before I can ride like Perry. Keep on keeping on.
