We cleared a hole in the tables and chairs

First indoor spin of the year.  October and the weather has not been much above zero so we headed inside for a spin session. We were lucky enough to get to use some space in the cafeteria at a local high school for our ride. A dozen or so teammates cleared a hole in the tables and chairs and we set up in a circle. Dwight lead the team through a 1 hour and 20 minute series of drills and sets of cycling endurance type of exercises.  I really look forward to doing these spins as it is a great chance to see the team and I tend to train a little bit harder when I work in a group.

The fun begins all over again.

First day of snow for the year. This is definitely the off season. It is really hard to get motivated to run when it looks and feels cold out.  Last week I went for a bike ride and had to get booties to go over the bike shoes and this week it is snowing.



  I think it is important to keep up the training this time of year and the Dallas marathon date is ever looming.  I decided to go out for a 10K run  after work and I felt pretty good.  The team is going to start indoor spin training this weekend and the fun begins all over again.

A running partner that wants to go fast.

Beautiful fall day and I was able to get out for a run.  Actually, Pixel and I went out for a very fast run. Not too long of a run, a very quick pace out to Fort Edmonton and back. I had to work all weekend so I missed out on the team rides. Today's run was focused on speed rather than distance, and I just happen to have a running partner that wants to go fast and pee on every fire hydrant that we pass.
