Iron Serenity

You can do 50 miles on a bike, and DL 500 in the same week…well done sir!

THX,
50 miles, twice in a week…
one commute, one pleasure ride.

Not sure about the 500…
That third rep tweaked left erector.
When I strapped in on the first attempt on the third rep I “knew” it wasn’t right and waved off… Stupid pride made me try again.
Taking a while to heal…
FUG!

Somehow my garmin lost the file for the 2 rides. It’s never done that before. The PC had trouble recognizing the device… Perhaps it was busy doing a file check or some such when I disconnected.
Fortunately, I’ve ridden both those routes before.

Well, it was a learning day… too bad I’m so dull I have to learn the same thing over and over.

this morning, COLD! dressed for it, a bit over… But didn’t get enough calories…

No ride this week, too damn cold for what I can deal with yet…

I just got a new boss at work and I am reporting through Calgary now. He bikes to work all winter… 8|

Are you finding it is a choice between biking and lifting? Can’t serve both masters?

Mostly it is injuries, parenting duties and timing.,

Trashed shoulder last winter trying 10x10’s. I tried resting it but still lifting to avoid atrophying. accomplished neither.
They found very old injury in shoulder (slap tear) offer to repair it, but 6 months of not using right arm to repair something that has been damaged for 39 years. So nah, just means no flat benching… Also found a blown c5-6 disc. It too has been there quite awhile.

But recently trashed lower back. Set seat too high. Recently pulled left erector.

Just crap like that…

Also loosing weight, hoping mostly body fat but with limited lifting, maxes have fallen faster then weight.

If you are like me even losing fat drops the lifts a bit. Unless you are competing it is worth the exchange though.

Thanks, it is amazing how quick you can loose strength.

Feeling better!
