Sorry....hard finding time to post...

Well I'm usually torn on what to do late at night.....It's usually 11pm at night when I get free time to my self.....so do I...

1. Go do some yoga, stretching, cyclo breath, foam roller etc... for 30-45min.
2. Log on to the computer and write in my blog and surf cyclo-club.
3. Go to bed and get the rest my body needs to recover from the hard workouts.

Well usually it's all of the above....just on different nights.

Anyways on to my twice a week update...GOALS....how am I doing??? Well lets see...

1. CX bike is in the same or worse condition so the goal of getting it purring like a kitten like I had hoped to weeks ago is still on my goal's to do list
2. Fat loss Bootcamp.....well have not exactly done that either......in fact I have done the opposite......I have sucessfully completed the 2 week fat gain camp! I'm now up 4-5lb from just a few weeks ago.......thanks so much Mr. Halloween!
3. I did take some time off the bike and followed a modified/shortened 6 week transition plan for 3-4 weeks as planned. The best 3-4 weeks....my body realy needed it.
   
4. I have done the core and zen workouts at least 2x per week and have been doing some hard CX training on the bike. On and off the bike activity is very good.

All in all pretty good I guess.......I can get the CX bike tuned up at any point really so no need to stress about that. I would have liked to had the $$ to get the 6wk MTB plan and followed it in preperation for the CX race in two weeks, but I think my knowledge of how to train (thanks Graeme, Josh, & Club) and having the tools to train with (Core, zen, in5', ect.....thanks again Graeme) I have been progressing pretty well. It's just nice to have the plan to follow so you don't have to wonder if the workout I did or the recovery day I took was the right choice for that day. I'm constantly second guessing myself thinking that was a great workout but maybe I should have gone harder, longer, shorter, easier, etc...

To summ up my last 6 days of training...
