It's getting colder, but all is well though peeps. I've reformatted my iPod and have now added some workouts that I found online that I can use with a Spin cycle at the gym. I can't wait to try one - maybe tomorrow, but probably next week since I'm hoping to do the 50 miler on Sunday. Here's the website: Cardio Coach. I'm listening to one of them as I type. Sounds like good intervals to me. I also have to rearrange my basement once it's too cold for the road bike outside and stick it back in the trainer so that I have access to my Spinervals and Carmichael Training Systems DVD's. I'm hoping that over the colder months to continue to ride my mountain bike two maybe three times a week - one or two shorter rides after work and on Mill Mountain or with the group at Explore Park. The other perhaps a long ride on the weekends at Carvins Cove, Bedford or Lynchburg. I'll definitely spend a lot of time focusing on core strengthening, weight training and cardio at the gym.
In terms of racing, I'm done for 2008. I had originally thought I'd race the Rowdy Dawg on Sunday, but honestly I'm not at all motivated to do that. I'm ready to just have some fun while riding. I think you have to have the right attitude to go race, and I just don't have it right now. I know that Kenny is going to have a mountaincross race series in the Bedford parks next February, so that will likely go on my calendar as something to try. I will assess some more 2009 racing goals after the first of the year.
Ok, it's bedtime. Have a fun weekend everyone!
