Get On Your Knees

in Rollers,The Dark Side,Vlogging

And bow to me – because I am the Roller Queen. Today I rode the rollers for 1 hour and 40 minutes. And not just regular rolling, which is hell in itself, but ridiculously hard rolling. For 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Somehow I let Zoë talk me into going over to her house and doing her “easy trainer” DVDs with her. I grabbed random snippets of the video because it was too painful to watch it from start (bad) to finish (painfully sad). Just a warning, the editing is incredibly sucky.  And sucky may be an understatement. The camera moves around a lot because it gets sweated on during the 2nd half of the session.

Oh, and the language, which I usually suppress until mile 15 of a marathon, gets kind of bad towards the end. And my hair? Looks like a DQ curl. So Sorry.

Okay, now that that is over, sit down. Because I did not run my 5 miles yesterday – it was 35 degrees and pouring down rain and the PIMP did not sound the least bit interesting. But, tomorrow I will do those 5 miles – even if I have to force myself to PIMP it. I will, I will. Maybe I’ll even do some video with the Newtons on. The Newtons which I’m still not liking one bit.

Oh Coach Troy – how I love him. I must do a post on my Coach Troy love. He is my master.

I did all out intervals going up a mountain today. I pussed out on the 3rd one and now I want to do them every day until I’m strong. How crazy is that?

Good job, Susan! You are a cyclist, like it or not.

Mom, cycling is going to make me a better runner. That is all.

I bow to you (as usual) because those roller things scare the shit out of me…

Coach Troy is Satan’s spawn. Nice rollers. The language was pretty low key if you ask me.

Yikes, looks hard Susan! Great work!!

You started to say f……

tsk tsk

Five hours is what we want to avoid doing when running, right?

I love your instant retorts to Mom!

The bit where you bit your lip to stifle the swear words was my favourite. Closely followed by the bit where you said “don’t you have a level 1 video?”

Good job. And what are you using to hold the bike in place??
