A view into my journey to train for the biggest race of my life. I am a full time professional who is dedicated to personal health and wellness and achievement. In my "spare" time I will be training intensely to completely my first 24 hour solo endurance mountain bike race in October 2015. I'll be sharing my journey. I will include both my struggles and successes.

Recovery day
No formal exercise plan today but I think my drive to work on the icy roads should give my fingers a good workout from the white knuckle grip on the steering wheel.

Crossing training today.
Today was a cross training day. Got my butt up early and head to Allegro Coaching before work to train like a boxer. Focus on upper body, core and stability along with boxing with with heavy bag, "Bob" and the mitts. Great workout out. A quality day at the office. Then off the the bike shop to trade in my old green helmet for a snazzy new blue Gyro. Then Went home for some active play with Brodie.

Weekday workouts. Important for cross training and weight training.
So this week has started off with an easy monday doing a 45 minute workout on the elliptical. Today was a little more intense with an hour of pilates, 15 minutes on elliptical and an hour of weight training. Need to start adding more ride time during the week. Sometimes it hard to find the time with work, etc. But building for success.

A not so winter, winter ride
Got an early start this morning. Needed the stress relief after a pretty challenging week. Took out the fat tire bike and got in a 2.5 hour ride. Temps were around 40, little wind and the sun peeked out. Unusual weather for January but I'll take it.
