And the new year's here...

Well it's been a long time (anyone have deja vu now?) since posting.

I've been hoping to have more riding stories. Nothing much to say. One ride in November, just over 5 miles, and one ride in December, just over 9½ miles, and I think 2007 closed with 1,011 miles in the bag.

Being very cautious about road conditions so I'm not storming back out on the road. It has taken me a while to get with the idea of riding the fluid trainer in the basement.

Finally had a three day stint where I focused on the feel of training and not the time slowly creeping by in the basement. Put in good efforts all three times. Each evening's training varied the resistance and speed. Even got up on the 3rd level on the fluid resistance. And I'm sure this is the first 3-day "riding" interval in ages.

At first I figured I'd ride the trainer for guilt because of the money spent on the trainer, then for pride to get back into some kind of shape, finally I realized if I'm going to do it regularly it's because that's the way I want to treat myself. This entry may be marked with the date I first created it. I haven't posted it until several days later. At this point I'm treating myself well and have time on the trainer for each day of the new year!
