Today a big PR in the 2.5 mile bike sprint (on gravel with hills) on the old heavy mtn bike. I inflated the tires to the rated max and I think that also helped. It was hard. Beat the previous by 16 sec.
2.5 mile bike sprint - Laurel Branch Trl
Time: 10:00
Avg HR: 166
Max HR: 174
HR stayed pretty much in the 160s the whole time. 30 sec after finishing, monitor showed a HR spike to 191, but I think that was anomaly ...but I don't know. That's why I didn't list it as max. After the finishing sprint I was at 173, then 20 sec later a gradual but steady 10 sec rise to 191 as I climbed a staircase, then drop to 161 after 30 sec more.
Making some headway on weight. Was 144 this morning, 3 lbs less than 2 days ago. Just one meal, a chicken breast and a little salad. Really hard to lose weight at this age. Takes some real sacrifice and calorie restriction. Tricks to curb the hunger. I've been drinking these low calorie flavored waters by Spindrift. Once or twice a day, a decaf cappuccino.
I feel for my brother. He has had a helluva time. He's never had dietary discipline. Feels bad everyday, overweight at 195, claims the Lyrica drug makes him eat too much, on many drugs.
Not me. Simon pure. No drugs.
But, Joe thinks I should be on drugs.
144.3 after workout.
What have I been doing?
Planting flowers of course.
