Every so often I remind myself why fiction is so important for living. I think part of the reason I forget is because I have become numb to the sheer amount of fiction available. Between Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Audible I could easily fill my day living in stories. In the last few months I…… Continue reading Fiction : 100/100
Tag: 100 days
From May 1st to August 9th 2020 Roger is going to post everyday as part of a 100 daily blogging challenge.
What for? : 99/100
Holy moly! 99 blog posts consecutively let alone within a year. The question many have asked me is why write on a blog at all, let alone 100 days in a row. Over the last week or so I have been thinking about this more and more. On one hand I have a romantic notion…… Continue reading What for? : 99/100
4×6 Intervals : 98/100
Today was back on the bike with 4 sets of 6 minute intervals. During the intervals the goal is to have my heart rate in the Zone 4: SubThreshold range. This zone is 94% to 99% of Lactic Threshold Heart Rate. So you are pushing hard but not all out, that is for Zone 5.…… Continue reading 4×6 Intervals : 98/100
Second Nature : 97/100
For the last few weeks I have been gaining more interest in gardening. We planted 2 apple trees, then got a rose bush and a stargazer lillie. So far all of them are still alive. We also have some bushes that we planted last year that I have helped back to life with watering, mulch,…… Continue reading Second Nature : 97/100
Riding around home : 96/100
This is the second week of my cycling training program. I burnt myself out a little with Sunday’s ride and used yesterday as a rest/recovery day. I was feeling pretty back to 100% for this mornings workout ride. Today was a force reps structured workout. Basically I get my 25 minute warmup in and then…… Continue reading Riding around home : 96/100
Taking Care of Business : 95/100
Kate’s bike has been in need of some TLC for a few weeks. Her shifting has been a mess. The brakes are a little soft, and I don’t even want to look at the greasy chain. Oh and her handlebar tape needs to be replaced. What we are looking at here is known as a…… Continue reading Taking Care of Business : 95/100
Back to Chicken Creek : 94/100
Today’s ride was solo into the San Juan National Forest. Kate wanted to go for a run so I got the chance to haul butt into the mountains. The last time I rode into the forest was over 2 months ago. Since then we have had a lot of rain and the mountains are really…… Continue reading Back to Chicken Creek : 94/100
Bikes and Burpees : 93/100
Kate and I went on a nice 2 hour ride this morning. The weather was perfect for a ride and we did the G to J loop. The G and J are the names of roads south of Mancos that go through some of the farms in the area. Its a low traffic route with…… Continue reading Bikes and Burpees : 93/100
Wax off, wax on : 92/100
A few months ago I wrote about changing by bike chain lubrication to a wax based system. Shortly after then I reduced my bike riding considerably and the wax testing fell off the radar. I was still riding with the wax chains. However I had not done a re-waxing of the chains. The reason for…… Continue reading Wax off, wax on : 92/100
White Cows and Walnut Stain : 91/100
I am having a few days of vacation this weekend and figured the best way to start things off would be to spend the day doing manual labor. We are getting the trim finished on our cabin and have hired a friend who is a carpenter to handle things. I have worked with Doug on…… Continue reading White Cows and Walnut Stain : 91/100
