Far and Away (RHR 52)

For those of you who may not know, a trainer for a bike is kind of a cool thing. Basically, you attach your back wheel to a roller that generates resistance with fluids, wind, magnets, or something. Mine is magnetic. Why is it cool? Well, it isn't too expensive, you get to use your own bike, and it doesn't take up much space. The negatives are that it is really really boring.

This morning, I did 2 hours on my trainer going through a variety of gears and positions. My average heartrate was 128 (high 60's as a percent of max).

To ease the pain (monotony that is) I have now become a collector of $5 dvd's. This morning's feature was "Far and Away". It is actually a two hour and twenty minute movie so I don't know how it ends yet. Don't spoil it please!

In all, I think this was a good week. I think my running mile equivalent is about 34 miles and total time including swimming is somewhere around 8 hours 15 minutes.
