pure at heart

rain or shine, Luke is on his bike every day

Short ride to work and the rollers today. I was going to tag on an hour on the way home but the sky was dark and threatening. Once Mt. Yoneyama is out of view you know you don't have long till the rain starts.

Raced the rain clouds home and jumped on the rollers. That's one advantage of rollers over a stationary trainer, you can literally just jump on with your bike and start pedaling.

Put on the Pains of Being Pure at Heart "They all sound the same!" is what my dad would say of this album. But that's a good thing as far as training goes: rhythm, repetition and a few vocals is all you want.

Work the heart rate up slowly. Bit of a cold so I don't want to push too hard. Break above 160HR for the last interval.
