Pedaling Around: When Reality Sets In

http://myridestories.blogspot.com/2014/05/when-reality-sets-in.html

May 29, 2014. When Reality Sets In. I always laughed in cartoons when one of the characters would get smashed in the head by an object. Typically a frying pan or a shovel, their head would momentarily take the shape and you can't forget the birds/stars that encircle. Dazed and stunned their head formed like the item of contact until they shook it off. No sooner do they resume to normal. What I'm a talking about you ask. It's Simple. shake it off and keep going. (Look out for the shovel). Until the past c...

Pedaling Around: Don't Panic

http://myridestories.blogspot.com/2015/06/dont-panic.html

June 25, 2015. Lets start you off with a common athletic paradox:. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I find the gratification from the challenge. Ability is working at what I. And pushing myself beyond the scope of what I could do. Motivated by both the fear failure and glory success it takes a lot to look into a yourself and believe. To know that you have worked for what you earned and that no one can take that away. A simple rule to follow: Don't Panic.

http://myridestories.blogspot.com/2013/12/crash-burn-when-will-i-learn.html

December 25, 2013. Crash Burn, When Will I learn. A favorite song of mine from The Blues Travelers. The lyrics are simple but the wailing guitar and blazing harmonica gets me excited. it's incendiary. Many times this song finds itself on my playlist before workouts and races. If you have not listened to the track you should give it a listen. Okay, okay. I took a silly risk. Decided to go for a ride on a cold 28 degree morning. Because I wanted to. It was a good idea. This song always is in my head during...

Pedaling Around: Pump Your Breaks...

http://myridestories.blogspot.com/2013/06/pump-your-breaks.html

June 20, 2013. The limp and labored walk has gone away, and I am back on a day to day status with training. Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. It all started on a simple sunday workout schedule that was designed to be easy and prepare me for the week. 90 min base run and a 120 min ride after work. Instead ran too hard put myself in deficit, tired and frustrated I pushed my bike workout, then became tired and frustrated again. Do you see where this is going? July 7th, Tri for Old Glory.
