Don't worry I already got the present! Just forgot the card.
Anyway with a great deal of reluctance the old girl (the truck) came to life and is presently warming up as I write this post. I don't like to waste fuel or add unnecessary pollutants to the air, but there is no way this truck will move without a good 20 minutes to warm up. Otherwise it will feel like I am travelling on square wheels!
So what's happening in the workout world you ask? I'm sure I heard you ask!
Actually it was another respectable week as I logged eight hours of training, in 3 rides, 5 runs and 2 swims. The running has been great, no problems with the calf after the little tweak a week ago, swimming is good, although the volume was a little low, and the biking, well....
As previously mentioned the biking is my least favourite of all the disciplines, and hence my weakest. I managed an 18 mile ride and a 20 mile ride last week, but I really need to step it up. Any advice on how to grow my love of the bike would be greatly appreciated! I have half a dozen spinerval DVDs which help somewhat, but still I just struggle on the bike.
The eight hours is a great jump off point to start picking things up after the holidays. I have been quite good about maintaining between 8 and 10 hours during the last while so my fitness has stayed relatively high.
Today I will try for a bit longer of a ride on the trainer as I am not going outside for any reason, other than the birthday card!
Have a great week!

We wouldn't want to see you in the 'doghouse', now would we? Keep up the bike work and it'll pay off.
If you could find a partner to cycle with it should help with the monotony - then again most of your winter bilking is indoors!
I wish I could help you with learning to love your bike... I'm in the same boat. When you find the answer, let me know!!
