Double digits....

After a couple weeks of 7 hours and 9 hour training weeks, I managed to hit 11 hours for the last week. Oh my, a milestone! Another a week like that, and you might be able to call it something known as "base." ;o)

I wanted something different from two other spinerval favorites No Mercy and Sufferrama....and wanted something for solid, long tempo intervals and I think I found it. I went to a local LBS and they had spinerval dvd's on sale. I was attracted immediately to Tough Love... Tough Love is really what my body is in need of right now to continue with the weight shedding I've begun.

Tough Love is a 3 hour dvd packed full of 10 minute comb intervals and even a 30 minute interval. Solid stuff for base...and who doesn't love coach Troy.

A lil tough love will be on tap later today....will I make it to double digit hours again....stay tuned.

Also was perusing the disaster of last year race's and related results starting with OP. Quite ugly indeed...and here we are one week away from OP, and there's part of me envious of those ready to race for 24hrs, but there's the other part of me, that knows deep in the back of my mind I don't have what it takes to race like that anymore, well at least for that duration. You can bet I'll be following it though and seeing how folks are doing and how the weather is. Dry, warm, and fast I hope!
