New shoes, school, and more miles…

I finally got some new shoes (Specialized S-Works) and they’re working out pretty well.  They’re super light, pretty comfortable, and have a handy ratcheting wire fastening system instead of the typical straps.  I’m happy.

School has started so my time will become more limited, but I think with my current schedule I should have no problem getting in the training that I need.  I sort of piled all my classes into one horrible Monday, which should give me plenty of time throughout the rest of the week.

Base miles are going well, in order to prepare for the longer races that I will be facing this year, I’ll be trying to do at least 2 60mi rides per week.  In addition to the rest of my rides, this should give me 13-15hrs per week.  This should go on for the next month… then we’ll see what the training plan says.  I’m back to keeping an eye on my weight — though I don’t ever intentionally try to lose any.  I’m hovering just under 130lbs which is just where I’d like to be.  I think things are going well!
