So, I really, really like Zwift

Dunno why. Maybe it’s the combination of technology, maybe it’s the low overhead for a workout. It boils down to:

    put on shorts
    grab water
    walk down stairs
    put on shoes
    ride
    Finish ride
    Check Strava
    Take off shoes
    Walk upstairs
    Shower
    Beers

When the bike’s loud, I oil the chain. About once a week, I check the tires. Easy.

Now, if I can do it enough to get some fitness, I’ll be happy.

Fell off a little bit

So, technically I finished the RW Run Streak. But I’ve failed on the 100 days goal. Not really spectacularly failed; just kind of faded out.

I’m not necessarily upset – looking at Strava and just kind of feeling my body, I’m still in better shape than I was over the summer. I also didn’t put on any weight over the holidays.

There’s a whole bunch of “buts” – the weather has been unseasonably cold (like below freezing for about 10 days); I finally got serious about screwing around with my 3d Printer, so I’ve been up late and distracted, had some personal drama.

But, I’ve pretty much got the 3d printer running now, the weather has returned to New England seasonal, and I have my Zwift setup dialed in.

So, let’s try this again. But easier. Goal is to be on track with running, biking, and swimming mileage for the year by the time Paris-Roubaix rolls around. I’m not going to try to streak because I’d like to up the intensity of each training effort, so the critical measure is going to be the mileage targets on Strava.

Anyway, hope y’all are having a good new year.
