It happens every year around this time of the year. It is freezing cold and suddenly it gets a tad warmer. On Saturday it was in the mid 30s and on Sunday, it was in the 40s. Because of a day or 2 of warm weather, my mind shifts into spring mode. I do it every year. Now, when it will get cold again in a day or so, depression hits again because I know that Febuary is usually the cold month and the one with the most snow. Ohh well.
With the warmth, I took advantage of what coach had me doing outside. On Saturday, it was scheduled for a 4 hour effort trying to keep my hear rate down. I never really thought I wold have had some problems with keeping the pace slow and the heart rate down. Unfortunately, I think there might have been something wrong with the heart rate monitor. I have seen rates jump around before. No big deal. But on a slight uphill, where a bit more effort is needed, there is no way my heart rate should drop 20 beats in 5 seconds. I think I need to call Sigma to talk to them about it. Either way, it as a good ride and I am stoked to get in 62 miles in Febuary.
Sunday had me hiking with the dog for a fw hours. Nothing too spectacular except for the killer weather. Again, I will take it whenever I can get it.
Today….ahh, gotta love it, rest day. And rest I did.
I did get a bit of a finger workout by doing a bi of coding for the new website. If I get some time at work tomorrow, I should be able to get it 99% ready and hopefully have it up and running…..that is if we don’t have internet problems at work again….
