I'm at about 15-20 hours a week right now with training. That, including the 3 days I have little T and the fact that I still need to work a full time job to help pay for it all, really keep me busy.
The training is hard. After certain efforts I literally have to drag myself back to my feet. I’ll rest for 2 minutes than I do it again. The work is paying off though because even from week 3 to week 1 I can tell that I'm gaining strength. I've never been short on motivation. My brain is weird like that... I could pull motivation out of dust particles. So I never have any trouble getting up for the occasion. The training is very specific but different on a daily basis. I probably look like a huge dork carrying a little folder around with me at 24 hour fitness going from station to station. I need it though!
I'm not looking forward to hours and hours on the trainer. Dreaming through the 2x2ft garage windows watching the snow fall or the freezing temperatures take over the sky isn't as much fun as it sounds. Sweating, rapid motion, but not going anywhere allows you to pay attention to every second that slowly goes by. I make it sound horrible, I know. But honestly, it's all worth it! Getting onto dry roads with some fitness in my legs makes for some of the most beautiful, comfortable rides I can remember. There is nothing that compares to a 60 degree, January day in Colorado, while you're on your bike. Haha, yes… It happens more than most know.
We're coming into the holiday season again… Here’s to hoping nobody has to spend it alone. Until next time… God bless.
