Day 16

Well now.  Another morning another workout.  Talked to a pal yesterday and we decided to go for a ride in the am.  So, after waking at 5:44 AM, I got set to go.  The ride is ten minus away, so it's easy.  Still.  5:44  Really.  Anyway, I'm back and feel great. 

Great place to ride.  The trails were cut by mountain biker for moutain biking.  Not the old roads, horse trails, or walking trails.  Moutain bike trails with great, squirely lines with tons of technical-ness.  You have to be on your game when you come to rock fields.  The side wall of my tires are taking a beating.  And let me thank the makers of my arm and leg pads. 
 

Day 14

Mountain Biking.  3.98 miles in Vietnam with Jeff.   We met a 6:00 AM, Jeff had obligations of the family nature that had to be attended to.  So, off we went and it was great morning for a ride.  Twenty five minutes in, one of the screws that holds onto a cleat on the bottom of my shoe let go.  The clear snaps into a peddle.  So, I'm screwed because I can't get out of the peddle on the right side.  So, we had to take it easy and do a small loop with no nasty things I'd have to bail on if need be. 

Good ride.

Day 9

I just completed a shoulder routine with the new program which I'll call HP.  It's designed to work the muscles that create a shaped musculature based on hitting the high profile muscles that ultimately develop into a distinct shape.  Think Brad Pitt in Fight Club.   I'm working on muscle development and shedding fat.  Yes, fat is evil and should be punished. 

Here's something.  I suck at consistency.  Or I should say that I sucked at consistency of working out.  For too long I let the other crap in my life get in front of what is important - my physical and metal being.  I remember when I was in super shape and how I felt - awesome.  I like the feeling of looking good.  Vanity?  Yup.  But it was more than that.  It was a sense of pride that I was consistently doing better in the workouts, eating well.  I had a very good balance then and I worked towards that now. 

Mrs. Ntckfit is on the same path as well, and it is sweet being in the same place.
