New Toys!!

Haven't checked in for a while. I'm sure it has been tough for those of you following these chronicles, patiently awaiting the news of my decision, solving the dilemma in my last post. I bought a Garmin Edge 305, and a training plan from Lynda.

I started the plan Monday night with some core training, and I did a heart rate test on the W&OD on Tuesday night. From the heart rate test, you use a mathematical formula establish heart rate zones 1-5 and spend time in specific zones for training depending on the workout.

Tonight I had pedaling drills and core work on the menu, but I got out of work late, after a rough day so I switched tonight and tomorrow's workout. Tonight I did Zone 3 intervals. I felt pretty good out there and really enjoyed the warm weather. It must have been 65 degrees out there tonight!

I'm going to do my pedal drills tomorrow, and take Friday off and prepare for some tough riding this weekend. Woot!!

P.S. I registered for Lodi today. 12 Hour Solo here I come!
