Getting back into training


The past few weeks have been busy. Between work, school, and other distractions it has been hard to get in saddle time. I ended up missing the brevet I was supposed to ride in January. I wish I had a good reason, but I just overslept. Oops.

There is another 2 weeks from now. With not being able to ride much I was worried about doing this. I’m certain I can complete 200k, but I also want to turn in a decent time.

Yesterday I finally got in a good long ride and my fitness has not declined much if any. I’m very happy about that. I’m also trying to get a little more structure in both my riding and other aspects of fitness, namely my diet. I’m now keeping a log of all my rides as well as anything I eat. I really need to drop those last 10 lbs that seem to want to stay on me.

As hard as it can be at times, I’m learning I really need to make riding a priority, it seems to help me manage everything else.
