Can you keep up? I know I can’t..

Spinning part Tour de France, part yoga, and part 12th century torture chamber

This my favorite Quote. Hopefully if I keep saying it over and over I will achieve my goals…

Every man is enthusiastic at times. One man has enthusiasm for thirty minutes, another for thirty days — but it is the man who has it for thirty years who makes a success in life.

Goals For 2005

# 1 To work out 280 times in 2005.

I consider a work out any exercise for 30 minutes or more. So if I go to the gym in the morning and a hour bicycle ride in the evening that would be 2 work outs..

#2 1300 miles on my Bicycles (Tandem & Single Combined)

#3

01/01/2005 WO#1 (Work Out #1). I didn’t go to the gym today for my spin class so I could do the ABCDEFGHIJ Ride .. I rode my single bike. It started at 12:00 at the Medina Square. It was 42 degrees and sunny. The route was 3, 12 or 24 miles. I planned on doing the 12 miles. I wasn’t really paying attention to the map so I decided just to follow a group of cyclist. After hitting 13 miles I realize they were doing the 24 miles so apparently so was I. . They were from the Akron Bicycling Club. They were really nice, so I think I will look into joining their club. It took 2 hours to complete this ride.. I felt good because I didn’t need to go in to my smallest chain ring at all. I have ridden some of these roads before and I know that I used it in the past.. At the end of the ride my feet were a little cold but everything else was nice and warm.. If you go to the Akron Bicycling Club you will see a picture of me with the people that I was riding with.. I am hoping to get a legit copy so I can post it..

01/02/2005 WO#2. Went to the gym this morning. It was very crowded with all of the people there because of their New Years Resolutions.. I hope that they stick with it. I did 10 minutes on the ET then did the 13 nautilus machines.

Here is my current work out sheet.

1/07/2005 WO#6. Went to the gym this morning for MB ultra spin class. I got to the gym 1/2 hour before the start to make sure I had a bike (in the back). I am glad that I did, there were 22 people in the class. MB called me out again during the class. I talked to her after the class and she said I was doing great. She could not wait till we are able to ride together outside.. I am afraid they will drop quickly.

06/18/2005 WO#148 Ride with Morgan on the tandem for the Akron Bike club ride thru the metro parks. Lunch at Michaels. There was a HUGE hill coming out out the park on Wooster road. I cannot believe that we rode up it without having to walk. Even though we were going as slow as the people walking. I knew that it would be a big pain if we stooped and halt to walk up the hill.

WO#251 Scotty Stump, Alex Cujba and I rode after work. Alex was having a tough time doing the ride. He was soaked after the first 4 miles.. He kept running his mouth on how he was going to run us into the ground. He did 24 of the 35 miles. He has not ridden very much this year. I went back and picked him up with my car. He was talking the next day on how he took it easy on us..

10/08/2005 WO#253 I rode to work to pick up something that I left at work. It was about 55 degrees and rainy. My Gore-Tex socks and pants worked great. I was soaked from my rain jacket. I will “Revive” it with the Gore-Tex spray.. When I got to work Scott Ryan was there and thought I was nuts to be ridding in this type of weather.. On the way back home I wiped out on the wooden bridge. I took the turn on it too fast and down I went.. I am a little sore. I have road rash on my shoulder and both of my shins are bruised.

10/16/2005 WO#262 Rode with Scotty Stump, Alex Cujba and Joe McGhee on the tow path.. Alex all week was complaining about my bike. That is was unfair that I had a better bike and that is why I can go so far. Scotty is riding a single speed and is not having any problems.. I rode with Alex to keep him motivated.. Joe was not far behind us but Scotty was back at least 5 minutes before us.. The last 4 miles was VERY WINDY because we were out in the open not surrounded by trees. We did 20 miles all together…

10/23/2005 WO#269 Morgan and I went on the Pancake ride starting at the Fitness center that I work out. Normally this was held during the month of July. But it was kept being pushed back up until yesterday.. There is usually about 100 people doing this ride from 20 - 42 miles in the metroparks.

We got there about 6:15 and they were offering Morgan pancakes and hot apple cider.. She had one blueberry pancake and some apple cider.. She was a happy camper.

It started yesterday at 7:00 it was 39 Degrees and the sun was not up yet.. There were only about 20 of us there.. There were only Morgan and I and another guy wanted to leave at 7:00 the rest were waiting for sun rise.. He did not have a light so we were going slow so he could keep up and see where he was going.. I did not want to stand around in the cold.. I wanted to get going and warm up.. Being so cold Morgan and I was planning on doing only the 20 miles.. It was very cool seeing the sun come up while we were riding.. Once it was bright enough so the other guy did not need our light we sped up to our normal pace.. We were at 8.5 miles and Morgan was saying her hands and feet were cold.. So I figured we would stop for a couple minutes and she can have a snack and we would turn back. Morgan got off of the tandem and she said we was REALLY COLD.. so I figured that we would just start back right away.. We got back to the fitness center and Morgan was cold. It took us 1 hour and 10 minutes to do the 17 miles including the traffic lights. The 4 pancakes and hot apple cider did the trick.. At the end they asked Morgan if she wanted to do it again and she said yes.. I think next year they will have it at the end of September.

This my favorite Quote. Hopefully if I keep saying it over and over I will achieve my goals…

Every man is enthusiastic at times. One man has enthusiasm for thirty minutes, another for thirty days — but it is the man who has it for thirty years who makes a success in life.
