Observations/Intel: Left a bit in the tank yesterday so I could go on a ride today, if weather permitted (I probably could have yesterday afternoon, were I more confident about Air), but it's not going to work out, so I threw in another workout for the AirDyne. Air was way better, Legs were still pretty good to go. Tomorrow not looking any better for a ride (I think), so looking more at Tuesday. I definitely want to try to get as many in as I can while I can, but weather is all over the fucking place. Given that I won't be going to the gym for a while longer (only been mentally ready and waiting since like 2019), I can still work on other stuff...whilst I pine away for the iron.

Did manage to remember a weigh-in but not until after I'd already had breakfast, which I don't usually like to do. Still, holding steady at 234 after all that, as expected, +1 from last time. Mileage for the year now at 296.

Observations/Intel: Got pretty jammed up the last couple of weeks, with what I assume are allergies, but were bad enough that I took a COVID-19 test twice, the first and second time I've ever done that. Both were negative and the fog is finally lifting, so back to it. Air was still a touch off the pace, but closer to back to normal. Legs, obviously, with that much time, were fine.

I forgot to do a weigh-in, but I didn't go off-diet at all, so I'm guessing it's probably not changed much, though appetite has been pretty low, so possibly. Mileage for the year now at 289.

Observations/Intel: Had my son staying with me the past few days, so I skipped Thursday, figuring that I might give Legs a break and take a shot at sprints today, which I did...the last sprint goal of .25 mi at max speed is now accomplished. Air was not great, but overall the max speed was far less of a push than it has been previously. Air needs to improve, though...still off the mark, but I'm guessing allergies played a role there. New goal is now to run sprints at .4 mi. I took at shot at it on level 5 today, which is the last I can remember it, but that was after the full tilt sprint and Legs were a touch fried by then, so didn't quite get it. I am going to start throwing in those sprints during the regular AirDyne workouts, though, as I don't know where the cutoff for .4 mi sprints actually is. I was debating running it right at .5 mi, but that does not strike me as do-able and I'm going to try for a lower increment first and keep it progressive. Next workout will probably also be AirDyne as weather not greatly cooperative.

Mileage for the year now at 282.

Observations/Intel: Weather again not playing nice, so back to the AirDyne. Legs yesterday and Sunday were decidedly not great (I should consider doing some stretching next day, if I'm not going to be going back to the gym anytime soon, I guess), but today were good enough to go. Air got pushed a bit but held up well. I could have easily extended this well past an hour, even with a higher cadence than I've normally been using and I think most of that is motivation. I need to get my ass more towards bike shape and that won't happen unless I both lose weight and push harder.

Speaking of weigh-ins, today's was 233, which is -1 from last time. I really need to keep ratcheting down and keeping it clean. Mileage for the year now at 275.
