Well it has been quite some time since I have posted. And there is a good reason. I have been busy. I just got back from a trip to work at the Sea Otter Classic. It is usually the busiest event for us. Plus it rained for a day which means that every athlete we have gets wicked nervous, scrambles and runs to us to get their tires changed asap. It makes for quite an exciting day. Because of that, I haven’t been on a bike in a while. That plus the snow that is on the ground and now the 3 days of rain we are getting. I had to do something tonight I hate to do, I brought my trainer back up from the basement. It makes me want to cry. But that is what needs to be done.
I broke my resolution, or whatever with my weight loss. I am really about the same weight when I started. It yo-yos up and down and with a trip from Michelin paying the bills, I am certainly on an the upward swing. But it must all change. I have a bike race coming up in about a month and as Mello always puts it, it is now offically balls to the wall time. I set up the trainer to get workouts in when I wake up and I might start running again after work. It seems like that when I ran last time, the weight dropped off of me. So thats what I need to do. I need to drop a good 10 pounds in 30 days….I think I can do it. I have to do it. I can’t race a hill climb at this current weight. I figure 3 weeks of, again, balls to the wall treatment, and one slight recovery week, and its race time…all seems like a good plan. Now to stick to it…
