"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
By feet: 0

"Training Log" 01/04-01/10

Nothing major to report this week.  All bike riding was commuting to work.  I did put my studded tires on during the previous weekend because of the expected snow storm this week, which turned out being just two inches.  It was still difficult to ride on the snowy roads that were rutted by cars. 

This week I also had the opportunity to ride in 3deg temps, which is about as cold as its going to get in Indy so it was nice to get it out of the way early in the year. 

Also got my first run of the year in.

By bike:   36 miles
