just in case you have some....check out this blog:
Velominati
There is plenty of material to you busy with some funnies (OK, well funny to me anyway).
Our weather is going to remain cold (highs in the mid-teens) through the weekend so any chance of getting outside for a ride are slim to none (and slim is out to lunch). Not only are the temps pucker-up-cold, but the roads are enveloped in snow/ice and scary drivers who think that 4WD means you can haul ace through just about everything and mach speed. The drivers in this state make it scary enough when the roads are clear, let alone when there are inclement conditions....we cyclists are a little sensitive to bad drivers - and in some case malicious drivers...It was not too long ago that I had water bottle and a full beer can thrown at me on two different occasions so hence the paranoia and slight sensitivity.
The safe (but ohh so painful) option is to sit on the trainer and pedal away while trying to get the mind to wander just enough to make the time go by faster. The wifer got me the first season of Mad Men (is she trying to imply something?) so that will be in the trainer queue/rotation. Fortunately the trainer has come to tolerate beads of sweat dripping on it like a slow chinese water torture experiment (with a slightly higher sodium content...consider it an ocean chinese water torture).
The trainer certainly keeps a person honest as you can always look down and monitor the wattage. I am starting to put some thoughts around how the e-stim unit has impacted training but those are still coming together - it is a little like an abstract painting at the moment, so the mind currently needs a little more time to let the paint dabs on the palette marinate into something with more cohesion and clarity...until then, time to keep flicking paint onto the canvas.
