Motivation Mondays
Another Monday, another off day.
I’ve been getting back into the swing of things after starting school back up last week. Going to classes all day and coming home to train on the bike inside isnt the most desireable thing in the world. However, things are starting to get ramped up as far as the collegeate road season goes, the dates have just been tenatively posted and will be finalized...
Short training update
Just wanted to post this short update about training; today was another Time Trial day. The results were slightly better than the first, but I know that I can improve vastly, I wasnt feeling as strong as I normally do today.
5 miles @ 7:30.xx so I knocked off about 2 tenths off the time, a decent improvement, but there is definatly more to be had. Now that I have my fancy new computer I can also...

In training news, everything is going well, continuing to ride about 5-10...
Just Wanted To Share

I came across this short film today while exploring vimeo; and it is possibly onr of the best short films I have ever seen.
The hardest part.
So first I have to apologize for not getting a post up for Motivation Monday yesterday; the past few days I’ve had an odd lack of motivation to do anything. I’m hoping that this goes away sooner than later, because I hate wanting to train but really having to push myself to actually get on the saddle and put time in.
The best piece of advice that I’ve gotten when it comes to...
