John’s Ramblings

After Sunday’s session “7A” of HIT, we’re officially halfway through this 13-week series. I definitely feel like I am stronger. I felt like the individual leg training was becoming easier, and so about that time it disappeared from the workouts. I didn’t mind the ILT’s, but some folks hated them. I feel I’m the weakest at the extended standing intervals, while other folks feel like those are a piece of cake. The beauty of these workouts is that you can easily discover what you weak areas are. You then need to discover the will to work harder and overcome those weaknesses.

Another halfway milestone is winter itself. We’ve past the winter solstice, so each passing day will have more daylight than the day prior. Somebody recently told be that they called winter “the tunnel”, which is a close enough analogy to work for me. Terri taught me many years ago that the “end of the tunnel” is in sight after the third weekend in January, as this roughly coincides with daylight after 5 p.m.

My last halfway milestone is “halfway wishing” I’d taken the advice of a few folks and counted by spin miles as road miles. I’ve now got less than a week to go to get my final 67 miles (for my 5,000 mile goal), and the weather icons on my browser have snowflakes for the next 2 days. Not a good sign.
