First off...Happy Birthday to my middle guy! So happy he is healthy and strong...Super strong....seriously...he is strong....

I love how he is giving his best James Dean....Kid loves to act and pose...

Bike - approximately 1:45. Excellent ride today. Pushed quite hard throughout, but didn't get HR above 146. Starting to feel like I am back in a groove, but need to work on the 4th discipline even more - NUTRITION. Quickest way for me to get FAST is to drop weight....

I know I sound like a girl...so what...time to go watch The Proposal with a Michelob Ultra.

Bike (1 hour) - solid hour on the bike. 5 min w/u...elevating HR to 150 and holding steady for next 50 mins. This was a struggle and I tried to keep cadence at or above 90 RPM. Solid workout. HR AVG 148

Run (1 hour) - NO HRM.

One of the best workouts all year. My oldest son joined me! It was great to see him smiling and riding with me. He is amazing...no complaining...wining...crying...etc...the kid just works.

Bike (1 hour)

Stairmaster (30mins) - I thought I would have him hurting on the steps....and I did! We cranked it up a notch and the kid was rocking at times on some tough levels....good to see him stick through the pain.

March 7th
Bike (2hours)
Rode outside. Bike felt great...but I didn't. Started out the ride with a small crash...fortunately...didn't do any damage to the bike...minor scrapes to me...kept on going. All my fault as I wasn't paying attention to the road and cars....dumb.

Snowboard (several hours)
Took the two younger boys snowboarding. Tons of fun. I had to pull the little one (Jackson) off the hill. He didn't want to leave. He is my little outdoor companion with no fear and the desire to do more than anyone else. My other son, (Joe) has natural talent, but could care less! He is very funny as he switched back and forth from snowboarding to ski's and still seemed bored. Although, he did enjoy playing in the snow! As a Dad, these are the days I live for. Outdoors and hanging with the kids....lots of fun to come over the years.
