Tried a bike ride

BIKE: 90 mins, about 25 miles.

Did this indoors so I could control the heart rate and effort, and stop if I needed to. But who am I kidding, when have I ever really STOPPED in the middle of a training session? I will keep going and going, more often than not, until either I'm done or dead. From what you may have guessed, I tend to finish the workouts. haha

But the ride was uninspired. 4x18 mins at 75% with 4 mins rest. I didn't shift the gears much for variation and didn't try to simulate hills. As it was, I was getting the heart rate up by just being in the big ring.

I was going to swim at the Y, but to my frustration the truck wouldn't start tonight! Dead! There were some symptoms of a problem on my way to the swim Monday, but I didn't really see what they were pointing to. AAA to the rescue with a new battery. So yet another late night. And yet another cruddy dinner (all on my part). My appetite is nill these last few days, I'm kinda making myself eat. I don't get to lunch until 3pm and even then it's uninspired.

This recovery thing isn't going too well yet.
