Apres Noel!

With Christmas past, I have to try to pull myself out of the holiday haze of goodies.

I have some broccoli in the fridge; but it\’s been there a long time, and I fear it\’s no longer fit to eat. I still haven\’t cleaned the carrots I bought several weeks ago; and I hope they\’re still good.

At least I kept up my regular riding over Christmas. Today, in fact, I worked on pushing the pace hard. I hadn\’t done that for a while.

It wasn\’t the \”force\” workouts; I stayed on the small ring. But for a minute at a time I rode hard, working to stay at 15 mph or more. I did shift onto smaller cogs during these efforts. After each of these intervals, I shifted back to a larger cog and rode easy for two minutes.

I hope the weather doesn\’t prevent my riding in the coming days. I need to burn off some calories! Unfortunately the forecast isn\’t too good. It isn\’t expected to be cold; but we\’ve got a flash flood watch for tomorrow. It hope I can get out and ride first; then it may pour. Apres moi le deluge?
