Riverside Update

Well, I’m mostly back on track when it comes to the training plan. It’s a bit tough getting the workouts in here because there are so many stop signs and lights, but I’m doing my best. I’ve been looking for a good hill to do repeats on (long, steady grade with little traffic) and I think I’ve found the best option around here. It’s got an average grade of about 8% and I think it’s around 2 miles long. Honestly, it’s a little too steep but I think it’s all I can hope for. I’m still doing a little under my planned training hours, but for the holidays, I think it’s acceptable. I just really need to commit when I get back to school… slacking off won’t pay off in the long run.

Oh, and come on… it’s the holiday season and people are still trying to run me off the road? Agh..
