Jennifer did a fitness workout for 50 mins goodStength – 00:50
Not much to say.... legs are still pretty tight and tired from my hard workouts this weekend but felt good to get some strength training in... did 40 minutes of strength and 10 minutes of good old fashion stretching which felt awesome!!!
Hope everybod... read more-
You should check into getting Patrick Burns to stretch you out. It's an awesome feeling, and when you leave a session it feels like your legs are brand new. A good massage would also be nice. Unfortunately, all of these aren't cheap. I'd start with the stretching session. Patrick's business is called Motion Momentum.

Try running when your legs are fresh. I think everyone would hate it if they did bricks and ran again the day after a brick. I'm no running coach, but I ran cross-country in high school and college. So if you have questions, I may be able to help. No promises though.

Well I wish I was able to take a day off after doing a break however my training plan with Endorphin is telling me otherwise so in order to stay on schedule with my plan I will continue to run the day after bricks no matter how much I hate it :(

This is true. I keep forgetting you have a specific training plan. It will get easier.

PAIN!!!! That is really the only word needed to describe what I was feeling when I laced up my running shoes after the bike ride. Within the first 2 minutes I thought someone was punching my calves with all they had and my legs felt like they weighed ... read more

HAHA Nate well if you choose just for the heck of it do a brick, I am going to say you are crazy! But more power to you!!!!!!

That's why cyclocross is so hard. The transition from cycling to running makes everyone's legs mush. I've never been so exhausted from a 30 minute effort in all my life. Honestly, I'd come home after a cyclocross race and just fall asleep. And I might just try a brick... but perhaps I should just try running first. I haven't really since my accident.

Well today started off with a ride that was suppose to be 24 miles however the cue sheet was completely off and most of the streets we were looking for where not there. Thank goodness my husband goes nowhere without his phone and for once I was happy a... read more

Yeah those mapmyride "notes" were completely off. All the streets where out there somewhere but they DIDN'T connect!
And no I won't ride without my phone, it is how you are going to find me if I end up in the ditch with no one around :-/

Ah... yeah, I had suggested that ride to Andy. Perhaps I need to drive it or ride it with someone who knows the route before we try to ride it again. I've only done it 3 times, and the most recent attempt was probably 3 years ago. So my memory is a little foggy. Great loop though.

Yeah that is the ride that Endorphin uses every Saturday for their group ride... but Andy and I will definitely have to look and see where the cue sheet goes wrong before we ride it again

It was hard getting out of bed yesterday. Time change isn't fun except now the sun is up "longer". Is Spring here yet?
