On contradicting my Marine dad's sage health advice
-
My dad's advice was "if you don't need to run, walk; if you don't need to walk, stand; if you don't need to stand, sit; if you don't need to sit, lie down." I am embracing the diametrically opposite.

My fitness rocket has officially successfully launched
-
Like SpaceX and Blue Origin, I always have a hard time even getting off the launchpad to say nothing of neither exploding nor imploding. This time, however, I think I am off the pad and past the riskiest parts of the launch.

My second first day back at CYCLEBAR Columbia Pike was great!
-
I really enjoyed my second first ride. While yesterday was my first first ride back, I didn't reach any flow. It was just a shakedown. Yesterday's was more fun. I felt back at home. And, I stayed within my Maffetone range of 105-115bpm 90% of the time.

On my first day back at CYCLEBAR
-
Even though I am not really following along with the class's program or the sprints and grinds and up off the seat and down on the seat HIIT system, being in a class and having a trainer and being committed to not farting around at all during the 45-60-minutes the class takes place, makes it all worth it for me.

My best gym and workout towels are from NIcool Sports
-
I am always on the lookout for the world's best towels. It's probably because of my devotion to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy—Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is—but it's my White Whale. My White Towel. The NIcool Sports Cycling Towel on Amazon is currently my very favorite gym and workout towel.

Today I will be an indoor cat as temperatures in DC will top 100F

Someone on Facebook made fun of me because I am obsessed with urban hiking, something I never thought to call it. But it's true. And I pride myself on my ability to weather the heat and humidity of the mid-Atlantic; however, today I will do all my work and my workouts safely cocooned in my air-conditioned little studio.

Recovery from intense physical activity is a real thing
-
While I do concede that recovery days do rob me of valuable caloric expenditure, fitness is a series of ascending plateaus.
