Sven's training log

I'll be the first to admit I've been a bit wimpish regarding the recent temps. When it's in the singe digits and windy I'm apt to not go out for a ride- even in the daylight hours. It's funny since most people think we are insane that we ride at night in the wintertime during a snowstorm- but really 18 degrees isn't that bad- but 5 degrees is just too far for me. That's a long-winded way for me to say I've been riding rollers inside the past couple nights. The trouble with rollers- I can only go so long. So the last couple nights have only been 45-minute sessions. I've been trying to be good and lay down a bit of base, keeping the HR down under 140 and averaging around 130 for the workout. I should do more of that but riding that fixie with the 46x18 up hills isn't conducive to a low HR- oh well.

My wife has been trying to get me to do more work on my upper body and core- I thought that's what PBR tallboy curls were for? Oh well- I've been trying to do more upper body work- and who knows (I'll regret posting this) may be I'll go do some lifting with Abe (no I won't). Now I know something is wrong when I say that I might even go for a run today. The world is turning in its head.

So that's been the work out plan as of late- not nearly enough but better then nothing! Any bets on who gets a road bike first- Abe or Nick?
