Cycle / Strength Day

Woke up at 5:30am for a 1:10 cycle trainer workout.  During this base period, will focus on developing aerobic endurance.  The cycle workout was done in an aerobic heart rate Zone 3.  Trainer workouts are typically hard to do b/c its no better than running on a treadmill (boring), but I'm watching Dexter on Netflix.  Once these workouts get into more intense heart rate zones, it'll be hard to watch TV.  Then it'll turn to itunes for some heart pumping workout music.

Then after work I did a 1.5 mile warm up on the treadmill, and then hit some leg, lat, and abs strength training at the gym.  Feels good to be back focused on a race.  The goal of this first week is just get back into my training routine.  My cycling pain cave below:
