Smithers MINNEAPOLIS

I’m with you on this one.

Lunchtime, of course!

You’d be surprised what a hard 30 - 45 mins 3 - 4 weekdays will do for you.

you’ll be fine..

your cyclocross season will help ease the transition.. Oh wait, you didn’t do cross this season.

you’re screwed

From pumpkin LOAF, big bwana.

I have the same problem. The only time I get a decent workout is lunchtime.

Maybe you should put the “see ya” tag over the stear tube badge.

Or “wide load” on his…

it’ll come to this…spinning class

One of my best training partners used to tell me, as he’d drag me out on the road in ungodly awful weather, “Either pay now, or pay later… but you gotta pay.”

If you can’t pay the full amount, at least make a minimum payment so you don’t screw your credit rating.

Just focus on doing something simple everyday. Maybe twenty minutes. The lunch idea is a great one if you can be done.

Set your alarm clock early and ride twenty minutes before breakfast.

Right now is the time of baby steps. Building. Building momentum. Building networks of capillaries. Building form. Building the habit of training.

Also, get a physical to make sure it’s all systems go.

Beer intervals… And if that does not work intervals on tape like books on tape.Listen to the work out and get faster.

put one kid on yur back and one on your chest and do lunge-squats around lake nokomis..

make you strong like bull smart like tractor

I love timmer’s suggestion.

maybe there’ll be an award for “best intentions”

Put the kids in a Burly for some cyclocross.

I ride in the morning and this has helped–

-set an earlier bedtime and stick to it, even on weekends, to readjust your body clock
-set everything up, including laying out your clothes and filling your bottles, teh night before, so you just need to get up and ride
-find a training partner — someone you know you will let down if you don’t show up to work out. If you workout alone, you can also do this by having a wager with a friend — if I don’t do five workouts in a week, I owe you $5.

Ever think about joining a bike club?

“If you workout alone, you can also do this by having a wager with a friend — if I don’t do five workouts in a week, I owe you $5.”

Yeah smithers–you should do this. I’ll be your friend to collect the $5 every time you don’t work out five times in a week. Hell, make it a $20…I’m a giver that way.
