Day 73

There was a full lunar eclipse that hit totality between 1:30-2:30am this morning.  I figured that if I got up at 2am, I would get some sleep before and after and see the eclipse. I decided that I would go for a 45 minute walk at 2am to the lake and see what I could see! Then I could sleep in later since I would already have my 1st workout done! It worked pretty well. The moon was tiny way up overhead and the cell phone doesn’t do it justice. 

Being outside and walking around at 2am was a weird experience. Lots of houses had interior lights on but I only saw 1 other person out. I saw quite a few police (more than during the day for sure) and some other cars. Otherwise it was uneventful.

I ended up being more tired than I thought but made it through the day. This afternoon I went to the concussion clinic and got some exercises for my eyes. My left eye is a little off and the hope is that with some exercises I can strengthen it and reduce the headaches while working out.

When I got home I couldn’t decide what my workout should be. It was also 74f so quite nice. I ended up going for a relaxed pace bike ride. And got a headache from it.

Day 63

Another morning workout outside! The weather in the afternoon wasn’t going to be great so I wanted to get it done. It was around 33f in the morning. It warmed up some before it rained and then snowed!

I rode my trainer in the basement doing some short sprints! And then snuggled up for the evening wondering if the storm would be as bad as expected!

Day 33

Woke up and rode the other way on the bike trail. No wind but some crazy fog! It was supposed to be warm but that wouldn’t really happen while we were in town.

I rode to the next town over and took some pics. Iowa has a pretty nice trail system! Perry is the town were the race was held yesterday.

The fog lifted on my way back, but not before leaving some beautiful ice on the trailside fauna!

01052020 – Bike & Ski

I rode for about 55 minutes and 13 miles on the bike trainer in the morning. I’m catching up on a bunch to TED talks that were highlighted a few years ago for me. TED will send you random videos to watch so I’m trying to expand my horizons by watching them!

In the afternoon was the first ski lessons for the year. It was a sunny day and not too cold. We did about 1.5 miles of classic skiing.
