Day 669- As the snow just sits there freezing and all is white...

To all the people that were dreaming of a white Christmas your dream is only a few freezing days away. And who knows we might even get more snow.

Time for a little reflection last year on this date here is where I was in my workout process.

December 22, 2008 -8:15 am-9:15 am day 304- freezing cold! 968 good -
Rode strong on that day. Weather was still cold. I am ready to go and attack let us see if this machine is ready to go on the fritz or was that just an odd happening.

Life serves up another dish time to take a bite-

I took a good bite today! Need to go check the big number board( that is always fun!)

Excuse me, do we have any room for another 500+ calorie burn in 30 minutes? There it is the 8Th workout to reach 500 or more calories burned in 30 minutes !

The 1st 30 minutes were amazing today- I love to write down.
In the 1st 10 minutes I burned 172 calories that is an amazing blitz of burning 17.2 calories a minute. In the second 10 minutes I burned 174 calories that is faster than the 1st 10 minutes and is a burn of 17.4 calories per minute. Stop right there so, after 20 minutes I had burned 346 calories. DA, 20x 3 = 60; 346x 3 =1,038 calories burned in 60 minutes. Yes boys and girls I was on pace to burn 1,038 calories in 60 minutes which would be an awesome feat. In fact my star was rising I burned more calories in the 2ND 10 minutes than I did in the 1st 10 minutes. I was stoked I felt awesome. If I could just increase my previous 10 minute calorie burn by 1 I would have the record for 30 minutes. the record now for most calories burn in 30 minutes is now at 520.

I was not aware of the numbers needed as I started on my next 10 minutes of riding. I was also not even aware that I had burned more in the second ten minutes than in the first. Looking back now it is obvious that had I been able to burn 14 more calories in the entire half hour I would have burned 521 calories. It is funny that while you are busting it so hard while you ride you lose perception of the moment. It felt so amazing riding that hard and it was great to burn that many calories while doing it. Needles to say the second half of the ride was not as eventful as the first but I had to give it all I could in the second half hour to burn a great total of 960 calories foe the hour.

I was indeed pumped so after I rode I planked and then crunched. 1500 + crunches and an awesome 25 straight on the plank position exercise.

I think the best thing to do for not being able to ride on Christmas is to do two 60 minute rides the day before Christmas that way the streak will still be intact and it will get me ready for the day after when I ride early Saturday morning. When I complete 2 workouts on Thursday which is the day before Christmas that will be my 677TH work out in 672 days.

My chance at day 670 is less than 14 hours away-
CIGA-------------CAN I GET AN AMEN!
