"Training Log" 2/15/2015-2/21/2015


Very cold week of commuting by bike.  -18 deg wind chills in the mornings and -10deg wind chills in after noon.  I worked 3 days this week so my bike miles are down a little.  I did however get a 5.5mile run in and thankfully no back pain.  I felt pretty good actually.  We received 5" of snow so Saturday I shoveled the driveway and sidewalks, hiked and sledded in the woods with the family, and then ran 5.5 miles on 5" of fresh powder, so a pretty good workout Saturday.



By bike: 36miles
By feet: 5.5miles

"Training Log" 2/8/2015-2/14/2015


This weeks miles were all bike commuting. Weather turned cold again with multiple commutes in the single digits. 

My back was still hurting so I decided to rest it for another week, so no miles by feet this week. 

By bike: 48 miles
By feet: 0 miles.

"Training Log" 02/01/2015-02/07/2015: HMBA social ride


This week consisted of my normal bike commute of 48 miles.  We had a weather system that came through early in the week which dropped some snow and the temps to around 5 degrees.  My 5am commutes were in the single digits to low teens all week.





Due to a sore back I decided not to do any running this week, hopefully next week I'll be able to put a couple miles by feet.  Some friends are signed up for the Indy Mini Marathon in May so that will be a consideration for me... 

Saturday the Hoosier Mountain Bike Association (HMBA), had a casual ride that I participated in.  It was a 50deg ride through downtown Indy, perfect day for a bike ride along with a couple beer stops.



By bike: 72mi
