My 2nd day on the trainer

I have now had 2 days on my trainer and it is different and difficult and easy and not boring, yet. I have a specific workout to do this week, my coach emailed me the instructions and I put them into action starting yesterday.

Riding a trainer is so different than riding outside. Outside I have a lot of things to occupy my mind: any moose on the trail/path? Any cars coming up the path ready to take me out? The trees have no leaves, there is ice on the path and I have to ride carefully so I won't slip, etc. etc. etc. Inside I watched Princess Diary 1 and 2 and the new Indian Jones movie, and talked to the dogs, ..........

This is going to be a challenge, but I do have to admint that being on the bike is the best medicine for mind full of all kinds of things, like work and fixing computers, washing clothes, and all such things.

So 2 down and many more to go! Stay tuned, it might be interesting!

I have been busy riding my bike outside in the snow, and now the volcanic ash! It is a bunch more fun to cycle outside. But, i am still training on the trainer, I signed up for the Bike for Women and need to work hard on the trainer and do more outside.
