Yesterday I did a 3 hour plus bike trainer ride on Zwift. That was good for me. I got faster and stronger as it progressed. So what's up? Am I farther along than I give myself credit for? Plus right before the 3 hour ride, I did the Bad Boy strength and weight session. That took about an hour. Not a bad day for an older guy or a younger guy either for that matter.
It makes me wonder maybe I am running out of excuses to fail. Today I don't feel too bad and that is surprising too. So what's up? My nutrition has been pretty good and maybe that adds to the positive mix. I don't mean to draw a lot of abuse here, but I do eat a plant based diet. For me that is no meat, dairy, eggs, fish and minimal processed foods and watch the sugar. I know there are all kinds of allegedly better meat-eating plans out there, but this works beautifully for me. I don't take medicine of any sort on any regular basis. I can do most of what I could do at 20. My thinking seems Ok...but that can be suspect since I don't eat meat. Got to be crazy, right?
Mentally, little by little I am coming around to being able to more often let things go and train first. That's a tough corner for me but I am making the turn, and I can feel that and it feels good.
So, this is a positive report for a change. I still don't see how in the world I am going to make it but I will just have to be content knowing God knows the end of my story. I just have to let that go and go train.
