Update here for this week. I've definitely been lazy with this blog and I am really going to try and get back on it more consistent.

Tuesday: Great day of training. Did intervals and core work today. Started off a little easier on the intervals than normal to make sure I didn't gas out. This was my first full interval session in 2 weeks after getting sick. Felt great and got through all 8 of them. During the intervals my heart rate range was 165-184. Hit the core hard afterward and felt good and worked.

Wednesday: Got up early this morning and hit the weights before work. Had  a great weight session and pushed hard through the whole thing. Had a good set of front squats for 165x5 ATG. Overall was a good workout. Did Yoga in the evening. Had a tough time with this class. I think my body was just pretty worked, but I felt good afterward, and extremely relaxed.

Thursday: Intervals and core work again today. Did the tahiti intervals which were interesting. Was hard to find a good balance of resistance on the bike where I could actually get some rest while still pedaling in between. Did some core work as well, but a little less than usual because of how worked my core was from the last few days of training. Overall felt good and healthy.

Friday: Got out for a ride today. Rode for about 1.5 hrs. Really felt strong and powerful on the bike, and it felt great to get out on the bike for a decent amount of time. Was a tough ride because the ground was quite soft and was sapping the power from my legs. Was pretty beat afterward, but felt good.

Saturday: It was way too beautiful to go to the gym today. Went to my Dad's house to do laundry and I brought the DH bike along. I have a couple super short runs in the woods which haven't been touched in a couple years. I decided to rake one of them out and ride the DH bike a bit. Felt good to get on the DH bike, and although the runs were super short sprint runs, around 15 sec I was able to get a good feeling for the bike. Was actually pretty beat after doing about 6 runs, and raking/clearing for about 1.5 hrs. 

Sunday: Off day. Ate very poorly today. Surprisingly I am pretty sore today from the trail work yesterday. My shoulders, arms and torso feel a bit tired. My nutrition has definitely gotten a bit out of line. I have 4 more weeks before riding really starts, so I'm going to try and buckle down on the nutrition and try and lose a few more pounds. Overall a good week, and it felt great to get out on the bike. Cheers.
