Realizations

Today I came to some tough conclusions. Now that the summer is in full swing I have to face the fact that I am no longer a tour rider...thus I may never reach the full level of fitness I enjoyed last summer with a full time job. I will die trying. As for those who don't have jobs this summer-hope you enjoy riding on mommy and daddy's money, never able to really ever call anything your own.

Today's workout with Tyler- great to have him along to push me as always.

Pushers lift:

Bench- 10, 8, 8, 5 reps working up to 145 lbs.

Jump rope- 3 sets of 100

SA Incline DB press combined with Lance step ups

Plank holds (1 min. w/ weight added) combined with dips and leg press.

I was happy with the lift and then we hit the track for 200M repeats- 8 total. I died at the end which is to be expected on my first day of real training, but disappointing nonetheless. On the way home I pulled over to check on a stranded biker- thankful for a chance to pay it forward. Everything was ok, just had a slightly bent rim and was close to home.

Tomorrow I hit the road to Charleston SC for the Dixon-Hughes Accounting conference- another opportunity to help further my career but will miss three days of training and blogging. Back at it on Saturday. Also keeping Meredith in my thoughts and prayers with the passing of her grandfather this week.
