Rain Rain Go Away,,,,

Weather has not been very good here the last few days, thunderstorms and rain, so I have been on the trainer. Not a problem I try to maintain a flexable attitude so that I don't get discouraged.

Today I decided to do spin class 7 accelerations. For me that has always been the hardest class, I still struggle with it, but that is OK I do see some improvement. I am in the middle of my training for the stage race its about 20 days out, I am doing a race this coming weekend close to home, its a 60 miler with not many hills but a few punch climbs and a 2 mile easy grade that I am sure is going to lead to some attacks. It will be a tune up race for me, I am going to do my best and hit it hard since its far enough out from my stage race. Josh said "go ahead and try to get a result" and well who am I to argue :)
Nutritionally things are good, I am cycling the drip usually a week on then a day or two off it. My energy is high and am trimming up a bit. I am not focused on losing weight at this point, but gaining fitness. The program that josh laid out for me I have followed I would say 95% I have added a few extra rest days as needed or as uncontrollable events have called for, but over all I have done all the days of work and in pretty much the prescribed manner. (Kicking my butt)
