Today is Husband's birthday and we were scheduled to be at him mom's for lunch at noon. I had to get in a workout this morning or not at all, because later tonight we're (me and 8 of our closest friends) escorting him to a strip club and tomorrow we're hosting a Super Bowl party (Go Bears!!). Somewhere in there I have to clean the house for the guests crashing at our place tonight and staying for the party tomorrow.
At 10:45 I decided I could still squeeze in a quick 30 minutes on the trainer. Had a nice workout, was sorry it had to end so soon. I'm in the early stages of training my muscles to spin at a higher cadence and so far it's going pretty well - I've gotten to where I can maintain 85-90 RPM for 20 minutes.
Oh, and it's so cold today (how cold is it, you ask?) I actually wore my cool weather tights to ride the trainer in my bedroom. Furnace is having a bit of trouble keeping up with today's -22 wind chill and 20 mph winds.
So around 11:20 I'm finishing up and crunched for time. I hopped off my bike, kicked off my shoes and jogged towards the shower.
My knees buckled, I fought for a second to keep running... and my eyes welled up, just a little bit, as I was hit with a wave of nostalgia for T2.
Between the weather and possible surgery, my next jello-legged journey through T2 seems awfully far away. I'm glad I found a way to remind myself what it feels like.

The nostalgia is good for motivation though. :)
85-90 RPM is a good deal. Keep it up. I found it easier to keep all my high cadences steady (and increase them as well) via the beat of songs, which I've all labeled by bpm's. The resulting tendency, though, is to peddle up and down instead of in circles. Just gotta be careful. Happy training! And Go Bears!
Just wanted to send you a hug.
Stay warm!
Aww, Michelle! You made me well up on a Monday morning!
When is your drop-dead date on the surgery decision?
