:-)

I reached that point today, where a good workout has been earned, battled, sweated, and conquered.

I decided to ride for an hour on the trainer, with some very strong statistics.

Total Time: 1:02:29
Average HR: 131
Peak HR: 166
Minimum Heart Rate: 100

I peaked right as my good roommate came onto the porch, I was snotting and spitting and sweating over everything. He just smiled, and gave a thumbs up, then walked out.

My right vastus lateralis, ITB was sore most of the day. Not throbbing, just a tightness that I had to stretch frequently. On the bike it loosened up, and I am now adding compression and ice to the remedial actions being taken.

But I sit here now, relaxed after nailing my recovery window, working on getting my 88.8 grams of protein, and my 592 grams of CHO daily, and am sipping green tea.

I’ve missed this bliss.
