long winter

long winter


Whew, this winter is draggin on like no ones business. Tough time for mtb because in order to ride the trais you need to go out when the ground is frozen, but when it gets nice they turn muddy (except for gap trail system).

Went out on a nice day this weekend and that was a mistake.

Funny thing though is it isnt bothering me too much, in fact it might be a good thing. Its a pain because its painfully cold sometimes and it limits potential bike commuting. But at the same time Im busy and lifting so I dont feel bad if its a bleak day.

In a few more weeks Im going to hit a short endurance phase where I need to get one or two long rides in a week and then Ill be bummed if it is still this cold. But after that Ill be heading in to the interval stage and I wont mind at all if its nasty.

Sometimes when its nice out it is more depressing because if you cant get out and are busy then the woe is me songs gets sung a little. But Im hoping to commute more by bike.

Regardless of anything Im glad that I lifted this year. My body feels more balanced, and I hope I can continue one day a week.
