Monday seem to be working out nicely as biking days. The Bachelor is on in the evenings so I get to get an hour on the bike without sacrificing time with my wife.
I spent 10 minutes warming up (stretching, doing some high steps, etc.) before getting on the bike. I got on the bike for 30 minutes although I felt like I could go longer. My legs felt strong so I spent the time in a higher intensity rather than extending the duration. I spent most of the time in the 18 mph gearing, but took 10 minutes to settle into the drops in the 19-20 mph gearing. I spent 10 minutes at a cool down pace on the bike and finished with a few stretches and 10 minutes of standing meditation.
I felt really good when I wrapped up. The legs felt used but not abused and the workout seemed very manageable.
My wife bought me a book to help with the fueling side of this project. We have been working on eating healthier and with the kiddos allergies to egg and soy have found ourselves eating more vegetarian/vegan over the last year. We have both found ourselves with more energy, less weight, and better moods. I am really excited to start reading the book she selected. It is called Thrive by Brendan Brazer – a vegan Ironman triathlete who has apparently done some homework on the issue.
