    As my Peloton instructor said on the bike tonight... "the only bad workout is the one you didn't do"

    Man my legs felt GASSED tonight - but onwards I pushed! And of course I feel like a million bucks now (especially after my hot shower) :)

    Time to collapse into bed! Goodnight riding friends

    Y'all amaze me with your mileage and dedication. I miss the me that was like that. Slowly I'm finding her again. Just gotta put the pride aside and realize I'm back at square 2, and I'm not going to be competitive for a while.

    Skipping the bike tonight in exchange for date night with the hubby. Hitting it hard tomorrow with a trainer session on the roadie. Kind of irritates me to ride it cause I'm fat and out of shape so it isn't as comfortable as it used to be. Up side is I can lose weight and the bike will be my bestie again soon.

    @ashleycarole86 The Livestrong challenge is across the month of March, so it starts March 1st. :smile: I'll be doing my 150 mile ride on March 2nd because March 1st I have tons of business to take care of at the base nearby and won't have time!

    Right now, I'm about to go do my Rapha Rising ride (Alpe du Zwift, a pixel-by-pixel recreation of the Alpe du Huez, is VICIOUS and that's today's ride. I am regretting doing a 1/2 marathon run yesterday more than I thought I would). At least that'll give me some milage for this week! (and stage 2 of Rapha Rising tomorrow, and stage 3 of Rapha rising on Saturday - gonna be short distances with ridiculous elevation changes. Wish me luck!)

    Forgive my ignorance- but what is a Zwift ? A type of indoor cycle or a trainer that you use your outdoor bike on? And I second @Bill70sStrong ! You are killing it!!!

    I wish I had something inspirational to say, but instead I shall simply drool all over myself because Mt. Ventoux is /hard/. Rapha Rising stage 3 is tomorrow! Huzzah!

    Woo hoo! Finished the Rapha Rising stage 3 climb today! Nice way to finish, going up Zwift's Epic KOM. That's always a fun climb.

    Now it's time to soak in a bath lol - tomorrow'll be a 1.5 hour effort on the Volcano Circuit CCW route to see if CCW or CW is faster. :smile:

    Just couldn't get excited to climb on the Peloton yesterday or today. Decided to listen to my body and take a couple complete rest days!

    Good idea @Bill70sStrong

    I did other exercise today off the bike... back at it tomorrow! See you all then.

    @Bill70sStrong and @ashleycarole86 I’m the same. Was messing with taxes and wanted to get in a little skiing. Only did two short workouts because of time and fatigue. Wish me luck on my long run this afternoon. Probably will do a series of peloton classes on the tread. It’s currently 8 degrees outside so a little cold and icy for me.

    Have a fantastic time. You runners impress me! We are off to go snowshoeing in the mountains today!

    Two rides today in Zwift - the first to figure out if I'd be going clockwise or counter clockwise through the Volcano for my Livestrong 150 mile challenge (going clockwise - the 6% long grind going CCW just isn't as much fun as the short and punchy 6% efforts going CW). Then joined in a Zwift-sponsored solidarity ride for the people of Ukraine.

    Ride 1 - 30.65
    Ride 2 - 23.37
