First outdoor ride this year. Started a 7 am and 36 degrees. Hands were cold though not too bad. Feet were pretty much frozen. Took it out a little slow for the first 10 minutes and then picked up the pace averaging 20-21 for the next 50 minutes, then slowed back down again (16-18) and stopped once reaching the turning point. Took it back a little quicker on the way back averaging 21-22 most of the way back with some 2 minute sprints at 24-25 mph.

I skipped the morning swim workout today. Calf muscles stopped twitching while asleep but they were still prone to cramps/charlie horses and would have made swimming difficult. Taking lunchtime workout too so I can attend a father's lunch/hoedown at my son's preschool. Looking forward to it.
Weigh-in this morning....at 187.8 and total loss of 18.8 lbs in 57 days (4.2 lbs lost this past week). Expecting a gain next week. I can tell I'm a bit dehydrated after yesterday's workouts so that 187 is not a true measure. I'll weigh again tomorrow once my fluids balance out.

Spinning at the gym after working late. What I thought would be a recovery ride turned out to be a pretty tough ride. Did five minutes sprints (100-120) followed by five minutes of high gear/low cadence (40-60) out of the saddle for the first hour. Last 15 minutes was in the saddle at 90 rpm. Knew it was pretty hard when I was laying in bed at 11 pm and the calves were twitching like crazy and was getting charlie horses in my calves and in my feet.
After the ride. I spent 5-10 minutes on the treadmill to see how the foot felt. Still not perfect but better than a month ago. I will continue to rest it and maybe start walking more on the treadmill over the next few weeks.
Morning Workout. All supersets. Lunges, bodyweight squats and step-ups in between supersets for the first half of workout. All abs/crunches between sets on second half.
