We all know that just by simply purchasing a brand new pair of sneakers, you run faster then you ever have before. All that fresh gum rubber on the sole of those new sneakers provided you with gripping power unlike you have ever seen before.  You put on those shoes which smell "new shoe box" fresh and let it roll. One foot in front of the other and your off... tearing around town just looking for the olympic trials...

It's pretty much the same effect when you get a brand new pair of tires put onto your bike. With the way I felt riding I thought, forget Lance.... people will start wearing little yellow bands around their wrist with "Burn Strong" embossed on them. (Burn of course being a play off of my name... Bernas... see what I did there?) Wow.... can you hear me in the back??

Anyway.... I got my bike back finally and with it all tuned up and ready to go with new "sneakers" I took it out for a spin this fine AM. Nice.... but I  also haven't riden in 2 weeks so I have a lot of riding to do to make up for it.

I have come up with a work out regime that I think will work nicely and hopefully get me in triathlon shape. 3 days a week of running in the morning and then upper body weights in the afternoon or evening and then 3 days of morning biking with swimming in the afternoon or night. And on the 7th day... Michelle rested.... but I'll probably make saturday my day off and it is certain that will most likely not be any rest for me.... summers are just way too busy.

Peace
