Significant

I just did ball pikes, and my injured rib aches each time I thrust upwards. Today’s an easy day, ending with some ‘pain lab’ workouts. My thoughts drift to today’s ride from work. Fresh snow meant commuting with Larry, my snow bike. Fitting in with my training plan’s “30-minute recovery ride,” I toured Bozeman’s fitness trails on the fatty.

Now, as I switch to bicep curls, I ponder their relevance to ‘core’ training. It might seem trivial, but it’s part of ‘the plan’, so I follow through. Today’s trail adventure, weaving through trees, creeks, sidewalks, and fielding snow bike queries from hikers, was genuinely fun.

Finishing the pain lab with tricep dips, tonight hitting 40, feels like a milestone. My training’s on track, core exercises are getting easier, and I’m starting to enjoy them after the initial training shock. As I wrapped up my ride, turning North offered spectacular views of the Bridger Range. Indeed, nothing is insignificant.
