TR: Gayley

No running today so that puts biking on the schedule, I am still doin the trainer road intermediate base 1 plan, next up was Gayley which is 4x8mins@FTP, wait wait I  just change FTP to 182 after the 8 mins retest, so this is going to be my first ride at the new FTP, I did much better than expected and was able to hold the new power for the 8mins, yah me. I am really loving push from using trainer road, I never throughly understood the concept of training with power until I started using trainer road, resting between sets and working hard when am suppose instead of just constantly grinding the same gear.

Got in Supreme 90, Cardio Challenge after the ride, this is a low weight high reps workout to get the heart rate up, kind of kick butt after the ride but I got it done.

I try going to the pool after work, but they have classes and the only 2 lanes available for adult swim was already being use by 4 people so turn around and went home to finish cleaning and sorting through stuff.

Now that the work in my closet is all sorted out, I decided to tackle all the cookbooks, I have over 100 books and I think maybe I use 10, so it was time for them to go. I made a library and to sell at Half price books pil, so nice to have that part of the kitchen clean. I added some workout and gardening books to the pile.

More Rain

The saying was April Showers bring May flowers well that is not really happening all I have in my beds are lots of weeds, and the little bit of flowers that are trying to poke their head out are drowning in all the rain we continue to have. It was cold and wet again today, couldn't ride bike and didn't feel like walking  the distance to work so waited around for the second bus that takes me close to work and then left work early enough to caught the bus back to the transit center.

Didn't get up either to workout this morning was up till after midnight with work problem and I think I needed my sleep instead of a 4:30am workout so got my workout in right after work but I have to say, I am not an after work exerciser, my brain is just to alert and away of all the aches and pain to get in a decent workout.

I was suppose to do 6 miles easy but just wasn't feeling the love, slight pain in right knee and glute so did 4 miles @ a 10:35 pace and called it done just to late in the game to get an injury. To make up for the 2 miles I was short added on Supreme 90 Cardio Challenge a great plyo cardio workout and then the 5 mins stretch.
