Weights were okay, I was not strong but got in some extra reps as the workout progressed. The ride in to work was also okay (or so I thought) but when it came to ride home...

oh
my
god.

My legs were SO done... I thought it would be sweet to ride over to Bellevue, meet Shelley and then drive home with her and I sorely underestimated the time it takes to get anywhere on a single speed bike and how thoroughly trashed I was. And my bike has a tiny gear. And platform pedals.

Shelley gets off at 5 and I left my work at about 4:10. At 4:40 I get to the WEST side of the I-90 floating bridge. Obviously I have about as much chance of making it to her office in Bellevue by 5 as Scott McClellan has of getting George Bush to admit that his book is factual.

So I call her on the phone, apologize and turn around to ride home. Christ. I had to walk up several hills... It's pretty steep climbing up from Leschi unless you want to throw in a massive detour and I was toast. And when you can't pull up on the pedals... it was a sad scene.

Comments:

So... this was my first time participating in the Ride of Silence and I'm not sure I get it. Oh, I get the purpose but not the implementation. It's supposed to raise awareness for cyclists hurt or killed by automobiles but in my humble opinion it just pisses off all the motorists.

You are supposed to ride silently (literally) around the city. So imagine this group of about 80 riders moving along at 10 mph. Now imagine that no one can say anything to the cars that get stuck behind it. and that there is no signage or police escort. Oh yes, they loved us.

It was so slow (our cyclometer said 8 mph AVERAGE SPEED) and it got cold enough that Shelley and I just turned around at the half way point. We were both shivering to death.

I had just finished up my little upper body routine when Thom showed up and I joined him for his ab workout.

Today was the first day I was able to ride to work in just a T-shirt and shorts. The way home was just fantastic... music in my ears, a hot day, the Seattle waterfront; nice.

I got started a bit late today and so only had time for some push-ups before Thom showed but then we had a great leg workout. We tried 'real' squats today and my back was okay but boy, we were not exactly lifting heavy weights... It's amazing how fast this goes away if you don't keep at it.

I suggested some new lunges and Thom was up for it. You put your back foot up on a bench and then lunge down with your front leg, do your set and then switch legs. Ouch. The first set was all about finding your balance for both of us but even so it was hard work.

I was dragging this morning on the way to the gym but Thom cheered me up and starting with the last set of leg press I felt much better. The walking lunges were actually really easy and I did the best I have ever done on the hack squat machine so not a bad day at all.

Today I worked from home and walked downtown to attend a free Netdesk Windows Server 2008 lab. I went through Freeway Park and all the water was turned on - I love that! Of course the stairs leading into the park on the east side always smell like urine but hey, it's brief.

All the food and drink at the event was donated by Microsoft and when I saw the beer in the cooler I was (very) pleasantly surprised. :)

What a great day! I was able to ride to work (which is always a plus), I went along on the iWalk and then when I got home Shelley and I hit the bricks for a short jog,

My legs did feel like garbage on the run tho... I have this problem where my skin tingles and itches - especially if the has some descents - when I'm not used to running and it takes me 5-10 outings to get rid of that feeling. This time of year I'm not exactly running a lot so today was kinda uncomfortable until the last mile. Oh well; it was fantastic out and Shelley showed me a really scenic route. Nice.

Today at work I joined the walkers. It's this group that goes out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during lunch and kinda power walks the campus and surrounding region. It was really fun.

On the way home I hit Interlaken with the music turned WAY up. Nice.

Comments:

Weights felt fine, especially the dumbbell bench step-ups but I'm WAY weak when it comes to basic stuff like the leg press and squats... At least I can do a few reps.

The commute was cold and I was barely able to make it Belmont on the way home. Sheesh...

I was really up for legs in the gym today and had a pretty good workout. Amazing how much of this is mental... Duh.

The ride home can be described in one word: mellow. I went up Belmont and had to get myself pretty excited about that hill on my single speed.

Oy... I had a hard time getting out of bed today, my upper body exercises felt super hard (probably because I have not been doing them for a week - since last Wednesday!) and legs did not feel super. The step ups on the bench with dumbbells was kinda fun though, we could have used more weight.

It felt GREAT to commute to work on my bike again...! iPod, reasonable weather, the works. But man, my legs felt done in. I was just rolling along.

Comments:

The leg press did not feel so hot today but we killed it on the leg extensions and curls. We held each rep for a second and then lowered it slowly. And THEN did a drop set. Nice.

And why are my lunges stronger than my squats? I'm a spaz.

I still have a bit of a sore throat... And I did not sleep well at all last night. I kept waking Shelley which in turn would wake me up. :( Sleep seems to be the ultimate solution to illness and I'm not getting enough. Rats.
