March Madness: 3 Months Until Showtime!!

The Jenard is ready, the Gerard is ready, the only thing that is "in need of improvement" is the WEATHER.

After the disappointment of Monday, March 3rd, I am officially OVER IT.  You could promise me a last minute reprieve from the governor tomorrow and I'd say, "Take it back Gov, I'm going to school!"

That's code for NO MORE SNOW DAYS!!!

On the bright side, I've been improving my speed consistency.  It's one thing to clock 21.8 mph when you're only doing 15 minutes, but yet another situation all together to maintain that speed for 6 hours.  My best 6 hour time so far is around 15 mph.  However, I recently improved my ONE hour time to 20.8 mph.

28 degrees! Going for a 14 mile ride!

My training regimen now consists primarily of cycling for the bulk of the time, followed by swimming for a brief supplement.  In case you didn't gather from the first couple paragraphs, the "cycling" I'm referring to is a stationery bike at Healthtrax.

J here. G and I got into an argument
yesterday because he claims he's
"ready" for the trip. I gave him my infamous "for real?" retort. I understand he's anxious to just start, and he's getting bored cycling in loops or not even moving when he's cycling at the gym. The REALITY is he needs the three more months to train. To build up endurance,speed, and momentum.

Also, thanks for all our blog readers and Facebook followers. If you haven't "Liked" our page on Facebook (the link is on the side bar) please do. I easily can post videos on the Facebook, but I haven't figured out how to do it on the blog yet. Well, that's a lie. I have to download some app or something. Basically, if you follow us on Facebook, you can watch some videos as well.

Spread the word!!!

We've spent the past month trying to get the "word" out about our social media stuff. Facebook actually blocked us for a week for trying to add too many friends, which is ironic because Facebook force feeds you to add people with their friend suggestions. We friend requested a lot of people at work but because of our "Gerenifer" name people didn't accept us because they didn't know who we were (despite G's pic) OR they did know and just didn't want to be associated with us. hehe

J and I just finished an hour of cycling at Healthrax for an event called Charity Cycling. It was fun, but I'd rather be outside!  It's been raining for two days now, and the weather is expected to be above freezing for the next two weeks. Come rain!  Come sun!  Melt the snow and let the Jenard run!!!!!
