got out after work today for a little over and hour. rode to tamaques and came back home going up tracey dr. stayed seated which is actually an accomplishment since id rather climb standing. but it was a good ride. had decent sustained pace all the way through too. also stopped at a small fitness center in mountainside to enquire about teaching spin classes there. will see where that goes. and i have a meeting with the group ex director at ballys in clark on tuesday. fucking ymca just doesnt seem interested. oh well i will cancel my membership if i have to.

did hills today. this was the first time this year i really put in a hard effort. went up tracey rd 4 times and beat my old best time. new best time 3:23. after tracey i decided to push it and go up summit rd. made it up after throwing up in my mouth a little bit and having a screaming incident as well! but it felt good. i hope to start getting in some real miles in the next week or two and then start a riding schedule.

went riding with alex today in the reservation. mostly did a moderate pace ride but we did a couple hill repeats at the end up tracey rd. was a good ride and ended up doing a little under 30 miles. my legs felt pretty good. at times i definitely felt the extra weight i have though. hope to get out and start riding after work since the sun is setting a little later.

got to the y today to do a endurance spin. tried to keep my HR in the 130s and maybe do a couple hill sims. i got certified to teach so im running though some routines i could do during classes. but the spin felt good.
