Iona

It was ugly out there.  My HR was 164+, my watts were 321 and my speed was 41.9km/hr.  This would all be ok if I didn’t have a tailwind!  I need to work harder in spin class!  The flats at Iona can be tough if you’re not used to them.

Riding

So, went riding with Chad Friday.   Had a great time but realized that after 6 months of no mountain biking the legs didn’t feel to bad going up hill, funny, I guess the training and spinning does work! The test run was successful and my shoulder felt great, I’m ready for something more serious. […]

Riding

So, went riding with Scott on Friday.  Had a good time but realized that after a punishing spin class in the morning all I should do is an easy spin and stretch.  It was a great Vancouver day but the intervals of the class that morning left nothing in the legs.  I also realized I […]

Back In The Saddle… Maybe

Thinking about getting back at it again!  The Doc says things are progressing well and my shoulder is feeling pretty good, weak, but good!  Hopefully I’ll be ready to go by spring after lots of consistent rehab, strengthening and flexibility work!  If i’m thinking about it it must be getting better!  Hope to see you […]

I am going to train Sara right now, she came to circuit class this morning and she is a little worried about the family wedding that they are going to this weekend because she has been doing really well with her diet and smoking/drinking. I tried to give her some advice on better food choices […]

Today I am training Liz and I will say that I really enjoy training her because she really likes to be pushed and what’s to see results. One great factor that Liz has that I think will keep her focused would be her fiancé Paul, he is in pretty good shape and I think he […]

I am training Melissa today and I noticed that she rode her bike to the gym, I think that is great but she did not have her helmet on. I wanted to let her know that I am a strong believer in helmets. I was in an accident less them a month ago and the […]
