First Week In The Journal

The weather this past week was great. Temps in the 40's or higher with some windy days, but that just adds to the resistance. The weather still looks good for the near future with some heavy rain and more wind predicted until we get back to 'normal' by next week.

I had 3 days on the bike and 1 day nordic skiing for a total of 6 hours, plus daily stretching and core alternating days. I hate core training! My weight is still way to high so I need to focus more on my diet and stop eating so late. Things are going well on the bike. No problems with soreness, cramping or fatigue. Even on my longest ride of 2.5 hours, I felt that I could have gone another hour. One week doesn't make a season, but things are starting well.

This weeks focus is on building a schedule that will help me stay consistent through April. That's when landscape work really starts. One day off, 2 days of indoor/weights and 4 days on the bike for about 7.5 hours total. This should last the next 5-6 weeks until I start base work mid March.
