Well today was a full day for sure. Started off with cleaning my bed room. Getting rid of the old rug, and moping my floors. Getting rid of the dust bunnies and such under the bed will hopefully lead to a more restful and healthier night's sleep.
I then went to the gym and did a quick ab workout before doing a single circuit of weights adding a few more chest flies. Because of my riding I need to focus on doing at least three different resistance exercises when working out my chest to bring everything back into symmetry. Riding works the shoulders back and triceps, so overcompensating the opposite muscle groups helps relieve stress on those joints.
After the gym I went to lunch at the Polish National Home in Hartford with one of my former Student Teachers, Dustin. Dustin just got back from China, where he teaches at an American school over there. He is headed to Switzerland to take classes for his master next week. Must be nice!
I then road to Cycle Concepts in RH for a group ride. We cruised by the TPC where the Greater Hartford Open is being played, then through Berlin and back to Wethersfield. It was a slow steady 14 mph for 25 miles. It started out as a C group ride, but 5 of us broke off and after the first 10 miles picked up the pace through Berlin. We had to slow down and wait several times for 1 of the group though which cost us speed. My usual B group road out to the Reservoir, which I did Monday. So I decided to bug out and ride a more mellow ride, as my legs felt a bit tired going to the shop.
Came home and grilled a chicken breast on the BQ...NICE!
Tomorrow will be anothe ride in Chester, as I am going to RI to play golf in the afternoon, baring no extreme weather. Although I enjoy golf, I am less enthusiastic about playing these days. But would like to tie it up just the same, as I have not played since my trip to Florida in March.
