Mid-day - mtb ride

Rode at Hannah park. Got in a little over two hrs. Did 3 south loops and 2 north loops. Never really went hard - just kept it mellow. Was still feeling it a little bit from the day before. Fun ride - felt good to be in the woods.

Total ride time 2hr 20min / ~22 miles

Side note: Open Road was out there doing a demo - I rode the DI2 electronic shifters - really cool!!!

MTB NiteRide at Hanna Park -
Rode from house down to the trails and did 2-1/2 south loops and 1-1/2 north loops. Joining me on the ride was Tony J., Scotty P, and Radd Pop. It was a pretty solid pace - maybe a little faster than should've been - but its always hard for me to judge how fast / hard I'm riding at night.

We got in close to 3 hrs with right around 31 miles distance.

Sunday ride - met up with Tony J. at the trails. Was cold again, so I opted to skip the ride to the trails and just drove there. Kind of lame, i know, but i didn't want my feet to hurt again. I think that is from riding on the road and having to deal with a cold headwind. Anyways, got in 5 south loops & 2 north E-trail loops. Pace was mellow.
Including CD, ended with right around 3hrs and 31 miles.

1-19-09 thru 1-25-09

So, things have been crazy at work. Long and stressful hours just didn't seem to motivate me to train - felt more like drinking beers more than anything. But I guess its alright - I kinda decided to use this past week as a recovery week. Not that I was in desperate need of rest - but it mentally makes me feel better about not training hard. So heres the recap:

Monday 1.19.09 -
1hr ez spin on the trainer

Tuesday 1.20.09 -
40 min run with the dawg on the Golf Course (really cold btw - in the 30's)

Wednesday 1.21.09 -
Late night at work so no training - but I ate good food at Bonefish with Steph and Horton

Thursday 1.22.09 -
Nothing - another late night at work - chilled at home

Friday 1.23.09 -
Got up super early 4am with Steph (she had early flight to Houston) so I hit the pool - did 3 x 10min sessions - nothing fast - just felt good to be in water for first time in over a week
Then did 30min of core work / stretching
