Good energy albeit cramped after last steepest hill. Was unable to do the cardio program yesterday--the heart rate monitor was not working on that program. Rode about 15 minutes trying to get it to work. 4x20 at FSI yesterday.

Will stick to hills for now. May try variable hills or other programs

5x20 pushups at FSI.

minor cramps, but ok energy. Will start doing cardio ride on alternate days (usually Tuesday and Saturday) for 40 minutes.

Good result and good energy considering I spent over an hour in a smoke-filled American Legion club last night. Could probably challenge myself more on the hills.

woke up today with low-grade headache that has remained all day. Other than that, feel fine, except for a bit of fatigue. I'm also somewhat irritable today. Classic signs of overtraining? Well, tomorrow's an off day.

Had grits for lunch today.

got all the way through today at above 110 rpms, lower heart rate, no dizziness. Feeling slightly overtrained, but that may be the result of smaller, poorer nutritional lunches than normal this week--need to make dal tomorrow. Also really need to get to sleep by 2300.

Have started doing sets of pushups between classes at FSI--today did three setsx20. Ultimately, would like to do five sets at however many reps feels comfortable, perhaps up to 35-40.

Four days off was brutal. Stayed above 110 rpms through all hills except final hill (same incline as initial hill). Got dizzy and had to back off. Heart rate bpms in low to mid 180s. Tomorrow's another day.
