| 13.74 miles of mountain biking. The weather was so nice today. I had to get out on my bike since I can't run. I don't think I've gone mountain biking in December before. At least, not on trails. I rode a big loop that I have never done before because some of it was on some pretty new trails. I rode up Oak Hollow from the Draper pool to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I left the BST to ride Ann's trail--which I rode once from the other direction. I took that all the way over to Corner Canyon Road--which I attempted to ride down to ghost falls, but upper CC road is made of clay that gathers like a snowball on your tires when it is damp. Pretty soon, I had so much caked on that my wheels stopped turning. I had to turn around an walk back up the road and take the Rush trail down. Then I took the Shoreline Trail back over along Mike Weir drive and then descended on Spring Hollow and took Vestry Road back to the pool. I made it all the way up and around without stopping to catch my breath. I stopped a couple of times from technical mistakes or to let oncoming riders pass, but I never stopped from fatigue. That has never happened before. And that is exactly why I can't afford to stop cardio training. That will go very fast and I don't want to lose that. I guess I need to ride stationary bikes at a gym or do a rowing machine if that doesn't put too much stress on my hamstring. It was a tough ride and I feel a little beat up, but it was great to get on the bike again. Lots of fun. Training Peaks | | Comments(2) |

| Finally got around to joining a gym where I can start doing strength training that I need. Tonight I did an hour on a bike in the cardio cinema while watching Tommy Boy. It is dark in there, so I couldn't figure out all the controls, but I tried to get my HR into the low 150's while maintaining a cadence of 90. I did that for an hour. I think it ended up being something like 17 miles or something. My biking legs make it impossible for me to get the same kind of workout I can get running, but I need more lower HR workouts anyway. | | Add Comment |

Another hour on the bike in the cardio cinema. The movie tonight was The Nutty Professor. I guess they like to show fat movies in there. It used to be that my hamstring problem would go completely away on days I didn't run. It wasn't going away this week. It might be because I played a little basketball Tuesday night, but tried not to run too much. It was pretty sore yesterday. Not so sore today. I think I just need to avoid running at all costs. It also helps to avoid sitting. Not sure how to do that yet. Weighed in at 191 this morning.

| Another hour on a stationary bike. Half-way through, I pushed the effort level up to 14 which got my heart rate just under 160 and into the low 160's. Ended up with just under 20 miles. Hamstring is still a problem, but getting better. | | Add Comment |

| Another hour on the stationary bike. I pushed the effort level up to 14 after a 10 minute warm-up. I then broke it up by alternating between forward and upright positions for 10 minute and then 5 minute segments. When I got home, my hamstrings had almost seized up, so I did my stretching routine. I'm not currently feeling the tendonopathy. That could change after I drive to work tomorrow. We'll see. | | Add Comment |

| Lower body workout. 30 min on stationary bike. Hamstring is getting better. I still feel it a bit after driving, though. I'm not sure how long to give it after it goes completely away before I start running again. I think I'll also need to ease my way into running while still doing a lot of cardio on the bike. I am missing too many days, though. I need to make sure to get back on track next week. | | Add Comment |
