End of weeklong break

Just a short note to announce that our week off from fitness ended today and we got back to it with a 16.5 mile ride on the road. We had time and I had intended to put in more miles than that but there was a really vicious wind blowing: the kind that, when you come to a good clearing where a side-wind can hit you, you have to lean into the wind to stay a straight course--that is, after briefly getting pushed a foot or so to the side. Kind of sad to have not put in more miles, but it's still early in the season and there should be plenty of further opportunities.

On the strength training front, we'll start back with our usual Mon./Fri. sessions tomorrow. We talked about when our next strength-training switch-up will be and decided to shoot for the beginning of May. At that point we'll cut back on strength-training (upper body) and abdominal/core training to once per week. More detail s later on that, though I will at least say for now that I'm planning on calling this phase something like modified P90X-alt (I'll explain the title later).
