Everyone except Sonny, Lee, and myself have departed the Magic Circle. We will remain for another 2 weeks. The training I'm speaking of tonight is mental. We are trying to get our weight down in the next couple of months. The best way to do this is cut back on beer. All of our happy hour companions are gone so you would think this would be easy. No more bad influences. Sonny does not drink. No one offering a beer every time you drop over. It's all up to us now. As I sit here with a cup of tea I know it's all mental.
157 lbs dropping to 140 lbs. in 8 weeks. I should roll into June at my goal. It's all mental.
The bicycle training is going well. I need to slow us down just a bit. We are training at to high a heart rate for this early in the program. We did 40.3 miles in less then 2 hrs 10 min over an 800' rise in the earth on Sunday. Took today (Monday) off. I found several tires in the truck so we should not need to buy any for a while. We will train about 6000 miles in the next 23 weeks. The tandem goes through a rear tire in about 1000 miles and a front in 2400 miles. At $40-$60 a tire, finding these tires was like finding a small gold mine. We will also use 6 chains at $30 each. Who said bicycling was cheap. We need a sponsor. It's all mental. Where the hell are all my bicycle parts hiding in the truck? Damn brain! CRS
