@crumpin0828 - I been a little bit curious about that zwift. I should surf out to that page before I sit here and speculate. I think you have to by a special spin bike to do it. Seems like a bike like that would have to somehow be calibrated to energy or something. Otherwise how would pace or hill be valid. Then again…

Finally got a good climb in. 13 mile bike ride ain't nothing to brag about but 2,000 feet of climbing ain't couch potato. I think my climbing heart rate might have been 71% HRmax or so. Not too ambitious but kind of alright. I ain't gonna run big heart rates like I used to. Me capitulating to age. Yard work over the past…

Finally got a good climb in. 13 mile bike ride ain't nothing to brag about but 2,000 feet of climbing ain't couch potato. I think my climbing heart rate might have been 71% HRmax or so. Not too ambitious but kind of alright. Yard work over the past few days wasn't too slouchy. 650 squares of sod. 90 rolls I think 40…

Yes x 3 Heh, something more than yes x 3 ... Hey since you guys don't know my real name I might tell you how weird I am. Starting with today's food. So I goes to the little school house. My wife is there. It is my home away from home. Actually, if I felt like having a job that is where I would have one. Nevermind that. I…

I might have to wait for my next incarnation for that one.

Hill repeats in the neighborhood again. Not particularly exciting but better that couch potatoes. Heh, Garmin says I did a couple of hundred feet better on climb than last session though. I don't see how that could be. I did like 19 repeats each session. I wind the same pattern through the neighbor hood. Heck, I will take…

3 x hill repeats

yes x3 Spent a couple of days away. My wife and I each lost 5 pounds for August so we rewarded ourselves with an excursion. We stayed in a place called Far View Lodge. From our window or our balcony we could see like 60 miles distant. Possibly more.

Ok. I am on the board now with 1037 feet of climbing. Let me see if I can converge on an accounting format ... 9/4 - 1.3 hours - 10.4 miles - 1037 feet climbing 10 miles ain't nothing to write home about but the climbing ain't too slouchy. Maybe I will get out again tomorrow. My bike is still kind of funny mechanically.…

I am off to kind of a slow start this month. Went out for some hill repeats on the 1st but encountered mechanical problems. Holiday intervened last two days. Owed my wife an outing. Each of us lost 5 pounds in August so we got to go to an antique hotel. Maybe I should put a picture of antique on here. I think I will try…

Hello, I do some riding, mostly every day. I don't go all that far but I do like to get some climbing in. I have a couple of road bikes but these days I am pretty much obsessed with my mountain bike. Don't know what to think in terms of a goal. Maybe I will just journal my riding until I can think of what a goal should be.…

3 x yes Did 67 minutes worth of hill repeats in the neighborhood. Weighed in. The scale nudged by the pound I needed to get my 5 pound goal for August. So Yay! My wife got her goal plus a couple of pounds so we get to go out of town this weekend.

Aug 27 - 3 x yes Aug 28 - 3 x yes But I am not really in the winners circle. Every month I resolve to be more diligent on tracking. But I think it is the tracking diligence that is my weakness rather than excessive eating or drinking because I am not gaining. Not gaining is the name of the game for me because I am all…

2300 foot climb. Tried running my heart a little bit tighter but that didn't pan out. Seen a trail runner I am somewhat acquainted with. Ugh, that guy is still faster than me and he is a dang runner. Maybe I will go to Colorado Trail on Monday and hang out in some rarefied air for exercise. I don't get to hang out with…

Oh man! I was debating going camping. Now I know I am going camping!

Nice easy heart rate. I think maybe 110 average for the climbing. I might try amping it up to 130 tomorrow. That is like maybe 83% maxhr for an old guy like me. I doubt that I will hit 90% maxhr in the forseeable future. Travel ... for me is camping. I eat out of the food box or go to the grocery store. Sometimes I get gas…

heh! (3 x yes) I went climbing today. Got my 2,000. Not too ambitious. Took over 100 minutes. Got to thinking a couple of weeks ago that my days of PR's or PB's were behind me. Well, maybe for climbing but today I got a PR on descent. That is a little indication of how crazy I am. Heh! Envision the crazy old guy rattling…

I use psyllium husk pretty much every night. I am of the belief that it is important to go every day. Actually I believe that it is important to go on time every day. My exercise routine is such that it is really inconvenient if I have to go during the exercise (biking) Doctor says ... I am an old guy, sort of, so I get…

I seen wild horses today. I didn't take pictures because I already got pictures. Animals, heh, we were talking about animals yesterday. I forgot about wild horses. I bet @RangerRickL has got a soft spot for wild horses. I climbed 2000 today. That ain't bad. Don't know why I like doing that. Coming down I seen a kooky guy.…

A little bit light on exercise so I fail on that. No winners circle for me but ... On the upside I did eat or constrain my eating for sedentary. The other uptick is that the doc cleared me for exercise the way I like to do it, so tomorrow I am going to do it. Then I will go see Buddy. Animals ... I haven't got a real fresh…

Losing track of my days. yes x 3 exercise 2800 ft of climbing. I don't know why I would rather say that than 20 mile bike ride.

yes x 3 Exercise - walking. @craigo3154, I get how steep that hill is from those pics that show the turns in them. Nice.

Figure this for a Monday. A good day. Possibly an epic day in terms of pure joy. I went an seen Buddy. Walked there so I am finally off the couch. Buddy's expression or animation of joy on seeing me had a roomful of adults mesmerized. Almost brought a little water to my eye. I feed him. His appetite wasn't great. He wants…

Happy birthday @RangerRickL - - My bike is taking a nap. I can't believe how long my bike has been taking a nap. - I am on track and under budget for sedentary but still slouching. - I got a plan for tomorrow though. Ride my bike and go see Buddy. That little rascal. I bet he didn't get much activity this summer. Well it…

Heh! Well here is me not leaving. School starts on Monday. That will get me kind of more regular on exercise because I seldom drive there. I got Buddy for another school year. We're going to have fun. Actually I think I have him for the rest of his elementary days. I will either get him to walk or we'll have fun. One or…

I don't have too good of posture. Didn't exercise today but otherwise had good tracking and budget.

@fourathomej I am adding 90 cal of JB to my budget and I am toasting you with it. Still I am on track and under budget. 2000 feet climbing. 13.8 miles in 2 and a half hours. Not real energetic but hey, I am an old guy. I think I am still 1000 under budget. I gotta check my arithmetic. Pic of the gym ... (last month's)

@simonschange, you are amazing. @am_change I like your gym pictures. - yes x 3 Kitchen is closed. I got some cals left over. Exercise; 5.8 miles in 59 minutes and that included stopping for a refreshment a few blocks before home. No climbing. That almost sounds like ten minute mile don't it. But not a big deal for a…

Ugh. I ate peanuts and didn't pay attention. I don't think I went very far over but I have no idea so ... That counts as a ... I hate saying the "P" word. I ain't gonna say it. Exercise, yard work. Bike riders tend to get kind of slouchy on yard work. So my bike is in the shop... until today. Too late to go for any kind of…

yes x 3 yard work. That counts. I am getting my posting days all messed up. Carbs, yeah, they are my nemesis. I gotta have some though. For climbing I like 150 cals oatmeal, apple, banana and a belvita. Belvita bar supposed to have some protein. Most my protein comes from beans, salmon and cheese. Eggs. I am getting scared…
