JBougher - 2012-02-05 5:33 AMBirthday trainer ride this morning. I am still adjusting to the time change so I was up earlier. I planned to ride my age in miles but the baby woke up and cut it short. Oh well still got a good ride in. Have a great day!

rydergal - 2012-02-06 6:17 PM I just signed up for this program the other day....done a few rides based on HR and Cadence as my trainer isn't recognized ....Seems pretty good so far!! Just orderd a tacx flow trainer so waiting for it to be shipped so I can see my speed/power!! I think all in all it will be a great training tool and for $10/month can't go wrong!! Wayyy cheaper then Spinervals which I was using before but never had any numbers to work with for training!!

mndymond - 2012-02-07 9:16 AM Nice work Marc and Tera! Happy belated birthday Jerry! Good work on getting training done everyone! My psych final is today and oral in the morning tomorrow. I will be back! (in Arnold S voice)

JBougher - 2012-02-07 2:00 PM Swim at lunch.  Best swim I have had in awhile...hope its a sign of better things to come...

Just finished my long trainer workout for this week. I do it during the Biggest Loser (I find it motivating). I can really feel my bike fitness improving. I was able to put in a much harder effort than this time last week. Now I know that trainer doesn't really translate to road but I keep my tire pressure and tension the same every trainer ride so I can compare week to week. 

Last week: 18.64Mi - 1h 23min - 13.48mph

Tonight: 19.88Mi - 1h 17min - 15.35mph

And I do believe this is a true representation of improvement (maybe not real speed and distance) as I really felt the harder effort tonight. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get off the trainer my legs were shaking so badly. It was great.

Been away for awhile. Chaos of life and a med-student wife has knocked my training down several notches. I am working my way back.

Yall looke like you are doing great!! Way to go!

Happy Birthday Jerry!

Here's my question of the week, since I've been a bit MIA...and will likely be for another day or so:

What do you do to get motivated to train/race/get out there when you really don't want to? Or what gets you excited to train/race?

I'm a bit of a "jump on the excitement bandwagon" type myself. I tend to re-watch motivational movies (Without Limits, Swimming Upstream, replays of Alexi Yagudin winning Gold in Salt Lake, replay of Sale and Pelletier, I've watched that Versus TdF commercial like 500000x, etc, etc) Sometimes I also just watch sports in general. In July 2010 I was on an excitement binge between Wimbledon, TdF and the World Cup....I had some super duper training sessions because I was so pumped. 

SOmetimes I put on my "Andy" jersey. (I love Andy Schleck). My avatar is my old Andy jersey. I wore my new one the day before IMLP. Ya...I do some ridiculous things! Haha

So what weird and crazy things do you guys do??

I have found the best way for me to get motivated is to sign up for a race. I guess its time for me to sign up for a race
