Well, well, well….long time no blog

There hasn’t been a lot going on with me lately as far as training, so I seem to have turned into a mute! Life gets busy (VERY BUSY) and before you know it months have gone by! In a fluke accident in October I tripped and pulled a hamstring (not an overuse injury, just a fluke!) So I nursed that back to full strength and I’m back to running and biking regularly. I continued to swim while recovering, that seemed to really help it! I also went to Boston Bodyworker for some deep tissue massage and I KNOW that played a HUGE role in my recovery!! So that injury had me down in the dumps some, but I’ve emerged with some exciting news!!

I am now the proud owner of a Cervelo P2C Carbon bike WITH an ergomo powermeter (http://www.ergomo.net)!! I could NOT be happier with my new bike, my only wish would be that the weather warm up enough so I can take it on the road!!

I love the lightness of it, the Dura Ace components are noticeably better than the 105s my road bike has and with the ergomo setup, I should be in MUCH better (biking) shape come spring!! I do my first FTP (functional threshold power) test this weekend which allows me to get a baseline watt number to train from. I still need to download the Cycling Peaks software and get familiar with it so I can learn what all these numbers actually mean! I know this form of training will transform how I ride my bike. I cannot wait!

Well...that's all my exciting news for now...
