Fat Biking & Coffee

Greetings,

The JFK Challenge workouts keep moving along, doing 5 per week and its lasting about 8-10 minutes each time.  I have one more week of Levels 1 & 2 mixed together. I will then do just Level 3 for 3 weeks.  Still have Levels 4 and 5 to go in 3 week periods.

The workout series sort of reminds me of the old ab workout series I'd do back in HS that took me about 15 minutes.  Looking back, this routine would have been a lot better for me since its more well-rounded and balanced with a total body focus.  Its a great mobility series to get the body going before a basic cardio routine. 

In the last week I've been riding my new Fat Bike, aka My Big Fat Pony. I went on a training ride for 6.5 miles on Thursday.  Friday I felt ill in the afternoon and evening so I stayed at home. Saturday I felt better and well enough to do a leisure ride (no worries about effort/time/distance), which was a good thing to do after feeling so ill on Friday. 

This morning was a slightly chilly morning ride but felt great doing a 6 mile ride from Mayville to Portland and back.  I went about half a mile or so into Portland to get to the 3 mile point and then turned around to ride back into Mayville.  There is a great bike path built between the two towns and it is nice and safe to travel on.  No major worries along a major highway. The 6 miler was done in 26:30, about a 4:25/mile pace for an average. I know I'm slower on a fat bike compared to my hybrid, but since its heavier than my other bikes, its also a bit harder to ride. I'm hoping it makes me stronger to ride a lighter bike.

Speaking of bikes, I'm seriously contemplating a late May duathlon. Its a 5K run, 25K ride, then 5K run all back to back to back.  I think it would be a fun challenging event and be similar to a triathlon that I've done in the past, just two runs sandwiching a 15.5 mile ride.

I know I gotta get some serious training in for it, and the weather right now is looking prime time to get it in.  I think such a race will help me tune up well for the 5K's I plan to run this summer too.

As for my coffee, I'm drinking the good old basic OG Gourmet Black, OG's #1 seller. No bulletproof style this morning, just plain old, black coffee.

If you become an OG distributor like I am, you can get a great deal on OG coffee and their other products.  I'm pretty much a coffee only guy, so I've been trying out their various kinds of BrewKups and this next package I'm getting is OG King of Coffee.  Its in the sachets and for those who are not in favor of using BrewKups or the K-cup style, sachets are an easier way to prepare your single cups of coffee.  Its a lot less of waste and the coffee contents itself fully dissolve into hot water to create your coffee.  I've had instant coffees before and the OG instant sachets are totally different than your store bought 'instant' coffee.  There is no comparison: OG simply stands out as a premium coffee compared to other instant brands. 

Order your OG coffee today and seriously consider the opportunity to be a distributor. Don't want to join as a distributor?  There is the Coffee Connoisseur Club to join. You can save and earn points for your coffee purchases when you refer up to 3 friends or more in the Sip, Sample and Share program.

Ask me for more details for the CCC.
