In da Basement.

Many detest the trainer (down right loathe it)...I don't mind it (sometimes). Don't get me wrong, I'd rather ride outside but sometimes the trainer provides the controlled atmosphere I'm looking for.
Today was one of those days.
Warmed up for 30 minutes, listening to my music on my NEW iPod!. Did a Speed DVD for 76 minutes then a cool down. Total time a bit past 2 hours.
Two hours on it's own is horrible on the trainer but this went by pretty fast. At first I thought the DVD was not going to get what I wanted to achieve but with time I got there and some. Sprinting on the trainer always makes me feel like I want to puke. That's how I know I'm working!
I will do a speed workout of sorts outside this week that pushes me for a longer amount of time, but I feel some high intensity is important, besides it helps kick start that calorie burn and the after burn is much, much higher than after a lsd ride.

Snow is now in the forecast! Trying not to get too excited, believe it when I see it. Snow making starts this Friday at Riverside. Granted it's only a 1-2k loop, it's something. Hoping I don't get a midnight to 6am shift...again.

Later.
