Weak Too
The end of Week Two of my 12-week training plan finds me considerably less happy about things than I was last Sunday. Nothing like another major snow storm—at the time of this post, one whose full extent has yet to be realized—to sap my enthusiasm. We had some uncommonly nice days last week and I wasn’t foolish enough to think we would progress unhindered into an early spring. But come on! Last Wednesday I rode outside for an hour during my lunch break. Tonight I can’t tell where my yard stops and the street begins. It’s back to the trainer for the foreseeable future. This weekend’s trainer rides were uninspired, my bad attitude brought on by the snow and then pushed to new heights of frustration by a malfunctioning heart rate monitor strap.

Holy crap, is that a piece of the track through his leg?? That's gotta sting.

Yeah, that's nuts! We're not talking about a little hypodermic needle; imagine the force required to shove something that big all the way through his leg! That must have missed his shinbone by less than 1 mm. I wonder what would have broken first.
