I've snowshoe-hiked and lifted all winter, but took six months off the bicycle. Feel surprisingly good on the bike, the 32 miles this morning left me "pleasantly tired." I think that's good. I could have gone 50 or so, but... I think that might have been counter-productive.

Feeling good. I can't run worth a hoot anymore, but I can ride, hike & cross-country ski just fine.

I got really obsessed my first year-plus of cycling and for a couple months there one fall I was riding 50 miles every other day like clockwork. I came to see it as perhaps not a completely healthy thing to do, plus, my contact points really start to bark at me around 40 miles, also like clockwork, haha... anyway my riding buddy and I have settled on 25-30 miles as pretty much ideal for us. At least around my AO I can put together a pretty fierce 30-miler, tons of big hills, so I get off the bike plenty tired! But I agree, it's a great, invigorating kind of tired

Putting in huge days at the jungle gym. I'm up against a hard deadline- my wife's spring break- so I'm pushing about as hard as I can to finish this run of product. My hands and arms are deeply tired. We are going to go to Utah and camp and screw around.
