February Goals and Totals

The little crash early in the month put a damper on my outside riding, but I did get in some quality time on the trainer and the rollers. All of the bruises are nearly gone and this week the doctor said I could resume outside riding. Yea! Her parting words, "Don't fall down!" I don't plan to doc!

February Goals

* Follow training plan - check, for the most part

* Ride 400 miles - Not met due to being limited to inside riding. 

* Walk 30 miles - No

* Limit white flour, sugar and wheat - Yes, for the most part.

* Continue yoga once/week - Yes! Very happy to have returned to yoga.

* Read one book - Yes

* No beer - Yes

* No Diet Pepsi - Yes.

Giving up Diet Pepsi might have been harder than giving up beer! I've taken to drinking Calistoga bubbly water with lime to get that bubbly sensation. Much better for me.

February Totals:

Bike: 282.7 mi
Trainer: 8:06
Walk: 20.9 miles
Time 45:09 (includes weights and yoga)

So a fairly solid month, considering I was a walking wounded yet again! Getting a little tired of this! At least I'll be back riding outside, but no racing for awhile yet. The coach and I had a lengthy email discussion about this yesterday and he's right, I'm not ready to race right now. And PT Rich agrees with him, so I'll listen to them. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to get things through my head (or I don't want to recognize it, which is more like it). So continue the training and the physical therapy and yoga and increase leg strength. And remember: Go fast in September and October not early spring!

March goals: Will be very similar to February. Take February's training and build on it. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
