Workouts, Lactate Threshold, Desserts

Just a variety of things to write about today.  This weeks workouts were good.  I did something every day which I’m very happy about and did at least 2 strength/core days.  I had to do a lactate threshold spin ride on Monday which you can read more about below my workouts for the week.  And my goal to only have 3 desserts a week is just about accomplished for this week if I can make it through tonight.

For those of you who don’t know the lactate threshold ride basically determines my current cardio age.  This helps me with setting my heart rate monitor to the correct settings.  I was feeling really nautious towards the end of this ride and almost got sick blech.  I had done this once before but definitely didn’t push myself like I did this past Monday.  It was good though because my HR monitor did have to be changed to lower my carido age.  I guess that’s good?  Still trying to learn about all that stuff.

And the winner of my giveaway for the Exercise Anywhere cards is Marie.  Congrats Marie, I have emailed you.
