Notes:
- Ugh! For having two extra days off work this week, I kind of didn’t do much! I needed a step back/rest week, anyway. I upped my weekly mileage to 40 the last three weeks – I think I was due for a short break as I continue to slightly increase my mileage.
- Anne came to my class AGAIN Monday night! And! Took me out to dinner! Any readers are welcome to come on Monday night and do the same. Ha ha ha! <— trying to be funny.
- I was loving riding my new bike on Saturday until I got that flat! I need to take it to the bike shop to get fitted this week, and get some spare tubes, tool kits, an air pump and clipless pedals. $$$!!! Good thing I had been saving money for a bike, anyway! Should I go ahead and get yellow biking clothes to match the bike? Nah… I am not that ridiculous… or am I?!
- I mentioned some fun cross training happening this week, in last week’s post. Yeah. One thing didn’t happen, because I was out of town most of the day today. But! I went out of town for the other thing, which I will post about tomorrow…
- I am teaching strength class three times next week! Once on Monday and back-to-back Thursday night! Should be interesting!

Stepback weeks are awesome! 🙂 I need to come to one of your classes.. I keep saying that but I need to make it happen one of these days. Either way, a nice week of training for you. 🙂 I like that photo of you and your bike shadow.
You are more than welcome to come! Um… whenever you feel like a long arse venture in to the suburbs! At least it is right off the train line 😉
That’s awesome you had a full class Monday night! Whew- teaching strength classes 3 times next week AND back to back strength classes on Thursday!! You are awesome!!!
=^..^=
Thanks! When are you coming? Hee hee, I wish!!!
I wish I could come to your classes!! I’d take you to dinner after!!
Clip in pedals. I just got those a few weeks back, and I cannot believe I went all this time NOT having them!! Good luck!
I cannot wait to try them!!! I think I will have so much power when I use them… right?! Like… super powers?! 😛
Definitely super powers!!!
You will see a huge difference in efficiency.
If I came to your class, YOU would have to take me to dinner. Ha! Or not. But I’d need to eat. I wish my participants would take me out. Back-to-back Tuesdays are no joke for me, and I could eat a whole bag of Oreos when I got home if I didn’t lock the pantry. I hope you have fun with your double!!! And I can’t wait to hear about your exciting cross-training.
BTW, I think you should totes get yellow gear for yellow bike.
I would TOTALLY take you to dinner. Darn. Too bad I am not teaching when you are here for Labor Day!!!! That would be schweet! I am anxious for my double! I am not sure if I will teach the same thing twice or switch it up! To be decided… later in the week. LOL! Good tip about locking up the oreos!
Do you think I can call hang gliding cross training? I think I got some exercise standing around for 3 hours! 🙂
Best mast head EVER!
I still think it may have been a PR week in working out with you 🙂
Thanks!
I think you are right! 4x may be our PR!!!!
How many times this week? Only 1 (if you come thurs am)?! SADNESS!
Yay for strength class, but boo to the flat tire 🙁
At least you got to take it for a little spin first 🙂
Can’t wait to hear about “the other thing”!!!!
Only get the yellow cloths if they have spongebob on them!
You totally need yellow bike gear. That would look badass.
