My mountain bike outing today with my buds was simply awesome!

For my first ride of the season, I tore up the trail. Even one of my buds who has been riding for the past month was impressed with the speed and my ability to recover quickly on the uphill climbs. Those kinds of comments really go a long way to reinforce that the 5AM cardio and evening trips to the gym have been and will continue to be worth it.  I had so much energy after riding today that I washed and waxed my wife’s car

All in all, a great way to end a beautiful weekend here in Michigan.  -Jeff

A few buddies and I are hitting the mountain bike trails later today for a run through some technical areas. I’m excited to get back on the trails since it has been nearly 6 months. WOW! we sure had our share of crappy weather. This should be an interesting ride.

To make the ride even more interesting, I trained/punished legs yesterday so let just say that my quads and calves are feeling good today. So again, this should also make the ride interesting.

Enjoy your day everyone…

My cut diet is in full swing for a duration of 4 weeks.

I’m following the Cut Diet 2000 by Chuck Rudolph. It commenced this past Saturday morning (3/31/07) and I have been marching along to it. It looks like it will be much easier to follow during the week vs. the weekend with family functions, as long as business meetings and customer visits do not get in the way

I’ve never been a fan of packing lunches but with my eye set on converting my weak 2-pack into an awesome 6-pack, preparing and packing my food for work will not be to bad. It also helps to have a special someone who makes sure all of the needed food is bought and in the frig.

I am going to continue hitting the weights hard even though I understand that my strength and endurance may be off during the diet. 

Keep training strong!
