This weather is so freaking great. I love it, nice breeze, green grass, sun shining, birds chirping.... want to recite me a poem, easy. Another thing I love to do in this weather is ride my bike! Since I have no where to go except, well, the gym (meathead), I have been riding my bike about 9 miles round trip to the gym on Sundays, conditioning day. The gym is especially awesome on Sundays because it is recently cleaned and there are very few patrons, meaning, I get all the damn space I need to swing from the pullup bar and throw barbells around. When the weather is as wonderful as it has been the last couple weeks, they have the doors open and it puts me in the mood to train! Yesterday Louis rode with me to the gym! A little apprehensive at first after not being on a bike in over a decade, I think he felt pretty comfortable towards the end, well accept for the whole ass pain thing from the seat.

This was another good workout! I really wanted to get sub ten but completing all my sets unbroken was more important and garnered more rest from me between sets. My plan was successful but I feel like I took a little too much time before the pullups. Overall, and I can say this a million times, being stronger is such an advantage. I have dwindled my conditioning down from once or twice a day to twice a week to make room for strength training and adequate rest. Even with this drop in metabolic conditioning, my work capacity is relatively high and the weight doesn't fatigue me nearly as fast. My pullups are not as good as they used to be but banging 20 in a row is still not an issue. Louis was also successful in completing all the sets unbroken. Mad props.
