WOD 02/26/2009 - Donut Anyone?

Donuts are so good...Anyway my family went to Trader Joe's today to get "healthy food" but after reading some labels from various packaged Organic foods I realized there is just as much crap in these "healthy" foods as anything else. Mostly sugar. On the other hand I feel fresh organic products like fruit, meat, eggs, and milk do have benefits b/c its not grown or raised with hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides. I'll get off my soapbox but my point is "what is healthy?" On a weight loss note the New England Journal of Medicine did a study on all different types of diets and concluded that they all work to a point. But the biggest contributing factor for the people who lost weight and kept it off is that they cut an average of 700 calories from their diet and started exercising. WOW...Who Knew!

WOD 02/24/2009 What was I Thinking

Today I was itching to get out for a long slow ride before I start again with 2 a days tomorrow. The weather had other ideas. Throughout the morning there was a very light mist and after lunch there was little to no rain with the occasional sun break. So, I donned my gear and took off optimistic for a good ride. It immediately started to rain, but not to hard. Just enough to inhibit my vision through my glasses. After about 10 minutes the rain picked up and I was soaking wet. But I was reminded of last weeks Tour of California where the pros were subjected to hard driving rain, steady 25-30mph head winds, and freezing temps. So I drove on, convincing myself how its not that bad. About 20 minutes later and I realized those guys get paid pretty good money to ride all day in the rain and all I get is to get to change out my brake pads sooner and probably a cold. So I decided to head back and hit the Spinning bike.

Today started out really cold, but with a few rolling hills I warmed right up. This route was really great. Lots of curvy downhills and light traffic. There were a few big hills but not to bad.

Josh D and I headed out this afternoon for a ride in the country. Mostly flat and my legs felt way better than I thought they would. Hopefully I didn't over do it and pay the price tomorrow.
