-27

After 3 wks, I feel like i'm beginning to shake this cold. Brutal is putting it mildly. Yesterday here in Barrie, On., the mercury hit -27 C. Yours truly went out & did a 11 km run. Not sure it was the brightest thing. an incredible 5.38 km pace average. Zing!

The Mrs. made an unbelievable dinner for me the other night right from Chris Carmichael's Cook Book. Tuna Steaks with Quinoa. Absolutely delicious! Total of 560 calories.

I never have had the pleasure of swimming in a 50 m pool. Tomorrow, that will change.

43 min Indoor Cycling on Trainer Drill

I did this one last night & lost a quart of sweat. 3 minutes light cycling easy gear warm up. 30 seconds right leg only, 30 seconds both legs, 30 seconds left leg, 30 seconds both legs. Repeat this 5 times for a total of 10 minutes.
Next segment.
1 minute easy gear.
1 minute increase gear by one.
2 minutes increase gear by another one.
1 minute increase gear by one.
1 minute increase gear by one more, this should be a tough burning sensation. You have just done 6 minutes.
Now go back to the easy gear & quickly take a drink of your favourite sports drink mine is Cytomax. and repeat five (5) more times.
Cool down with 2 minutes of easy cycling.
total time = 43 minutes.
