I'd love to get up in the morning and have a set workout to do. Maybe some hills or some TT intervals. Go out there, rip it up, get home, get on with it.
But those things are indicative of a plan — a training goal — and looking at the calendar, there are none of those left. Training goals, that is. The races in South Dakota in August? Not an option. Des Moines? Ditto.
Sigh.
Cyclocross? If that happens, it'll be more like a coincidence than a planned strike. Same with any MTB stuff. When the tools aren't available to practice, it's hard to plan and work for it.
Right now, it's all about getting as many miles as I can get before the snow flies. Last winter, I went into the cold trying to recover. I'm pretty much recovered ... again ... so I need to start building. I'd like to go into the fall strong and solid and capable of improvement next year.
So, today: miles. Tomorrow: miles. Wednesday: faster miles. Friday: miles. Saturday: short miles. Sunday: long miles.
It'll be like this for a while.

You might think about some sort of cross training. Just saying.
Can't run yet - physically. But I typically do that in October/November/December.
