Good Food, Friends, Sleep and Train - 2.3.11

Last night the Geloneck family went to a friends place for grilling and hanging out.

Turned out to be a great night.  Had some beer, venison sausage and a burger. All the babies were on their best behavior and we had a good time.

To top it off Pierce once we put him down just before midnight slept for 5 hrs straight.  Megan and I appreciated that very much after the 4-5hrs of total sleep the night before.

So, needless to say I am way more awake at work today and ready to take on my lunch time lift and evening ride.

Lift Session: Dumbbell Force Workout
Sets: 3-4 Reps: 10-12
Bench Press
Bench Rows
Backward Lunge
Shoulder Press
Squats

Trainer Ride: Zone 1 Base Build
This is going to be my first trainer ride in the living room with the family.  Making the move from the garage so I am not missing out on as much as action with Pierce and the wife.  Almost as if I was just watching TV with them on the couch.  I can't wait though till I can go back to doing my early morning trainer rides, but that might be a while.

Training and Having a Newborn - 2.22.11

The plan for today was for 85min of Zone 1 on the bike and a lift at lunch. I guess Pierce did not care what my plans were as he was up late last night and then again for a few hours around 2am this morning.  To get my bike in I needed to be up before 5am and I guess half asleep I turned my alarm off instead of hitting snooze.

So, I woke up at 6am and got in 45min instead.  I guess given the situation 45min is definitely better than zero.

The good news is I woke up with zero knee soreness or pain.  Last night the knee was sore and somewhat weak after my interval run but today I feel as good as new.
