I hatched a plan last night and made a semi-last minute decision to switch up workouts. I had planned to ride the old Thin Air as my final workout of the month.
But after a quick review of the remaster I was pretty certain I didn’t want to end with it anymore as it just isn’t the same. I’ve been considering if or how to switch it out, but hadn’t come to any conclusions.
Well, this weekend, while considering how brutal Violator was going to be after losing my rest day before it, I had a wonderful, awful, brilliant idea.
My abs are sore. I can definitely tell I’ve had limited riding time over the past few months. And after the first few days in GvApril, every interval workout has taxed my core. And boy can I feel it.
I am very grateful for yesterday’s rest day. Somehow I made it through Nine Hammers today. I’ve been using the tip from Rue the Day about preparing myself to suffer and accepting that the pain will happen and that seems to help.
Tomorrow is my wife’s arthroscopic knee surgery at 5:30am, so I am taking the day off. And then we’ll see how she’s feeling and how things go for my plan to do Angels on Friday.
