Ms. 19: [Groan] I’m ovulating and my ovaries hurt.
Ms.17: OMG Mom did you hear your daughter?!
Mrs. Wiki: He’s ok. He’s Girl Dad.

So far today I’ve been asked for four orders of avocado today and - in a first in 20 years of parenting - “the massage gun because my calves are tight.”
Gurl. What type of flu you have?

Neither. But if you see it maybe let me know.

- 60’ easy ride ❤️ < 114 bpm
Felt rested, easy effort, yet ❤️ decided it was time for a jazz solo. Usually, easy to hang at 113; today it 🚀 past 120. No fatigue, no stress - just vibes. Possibly the toffee apple I shared (scientifically untested, but compelling).

Fam: Choose the adventure!
Me: Well...
Fam: The answer is always yes until it's no.
Me: Oh yeah and...
Fam: Don't put down, put away?
Me: Ever. No, it's Don't be a Dick.
It's a rule for the now.

And today, somewhere is me on the bike too wrecked to unclip.

Our ride group cycles (literally) through 8 sessions, then an FTP test I’d rather skip. But tonight felt good—the kind of effort that makes sense in hindsight. Unlike four weeks ago, when it felt like survival training.

Zone 2: where running feels like walking and walking feels like progress.
🔹 5’ w/u 103-113 bpm
🔹 30’ 113 - 123 bpm
🔹 5’ c/d 103-113 bpm
Kept it slow (so slow). Had to walk a fair bit to stay under 123 bpm, but endurance is built, not bought. Just getting it done.

Now, she’s back in college and thriving. She’s strong—of body, mind, and spirit. And she just crushed 185.
I could not be prouder.

4 x 4’ at 105% FTP / 3’ recovery
7’ c/d
Steady 85-90 rpm throughout
HR climbed well, and the last interval didn’t break me—progress? Hopefully. Bonus: Snow day meant I rode with the NZ crew. Suffering loves company. 🚴♂️🔥

Mrs Wiki: [proceeds to sing Whatta Man]
Me: …
Mrs Wiki: weren’t you asking me a generationally relevant reference?
Me: the answer was “travel together”. Like. When someone asks to you to pass the salt. But I appreciate the musical tribute

Early, cold garage miles. HR took effort to stay in zone—which feels absurd at this intensity, but here we are. 🫀 Stacking bricks. Very small ones.
Next week: 3x run (40’) / tempo / vo2 🚴♂️ / 2 x ez 🚴♂️

Stacking another brick in the slow return to fitness, running, and treadmill tolerance. 🚗 Drove home from PDX today, so after hours of sitting, movement was mandatory.

FTP set correctly = no cardiac panic. HR peaked nicely, effort felt right, and for once, tempo felt like tempo. Now off for a four-hour 🚗 to PDX for work. Hope I don’t cramp 🤷🏾

HR was a elevated throughout. It meant the session was more walk (mostly walk) than janky jog. Sometimes the body just does what it wants. Next week we add duration and aerobic bike. Building back...

Forgot to adjust (down) my Zwift FTP—rookie error. Still tough - RPE’s improving. Only two hard sessions this week, so I’m pushing without overcooking. Morning workout = big win. Day is always better when I front-load movement.

Mrs. Wiki: That's just the news I heard and that's what I'm telling you.
Me: Oh. I'm going to use that line for the next four years.
