Outdoor Addict

There has been a whole lot of training and such going on since I last checked in.  I got my road bike all rigged up for some night time rides using 4 different red lights and my head light, so that has kept me busy for a couple nights.  Along with that, I hit the trails both Sat and Sunday of last weekend, which was a good time with all the ice, although there wasn’t enough yet for the studded tires to come out.  I also got the trainer bike all ready to go and hit the trainer a couple times.  I have to say that there is nothing good about riding the trainer.  This year, I opted to put the trainer down in the basement so I am not bothering Kelly too much and also because it is a bit cooler.  The cooler thing only helps for the first 30 seconds, because anything after that, I am sweating too much anyway.  But now, I don’t feel so bad about the puddle that forms, as its on concrete and not my carpet.  Also, with the snow that we have received (yes,I said snow), about  inches here and there as some melt, I have been doing a little “cross training” and taking campy out for some runs/hikes in the snow.  All together, it has been a pretty good week for training as I have managed to keep the weight down during the holidays…..which is always a plus in my book.
