Thanks! The steam is out of my stride today, I'm afraid.

It just dawned on me that I am halfway through week 5 of an 11 week program, so I am halfway through this.

For folks who have considered this: if I can do a regimented program, anyone can. I hardly feel like I've pushed myself way too hard. My wattage is a fraction of what folks on the 33 produce. Heck, they're modest compared to what I find on Strava for those 50+ers who post training rides with wattage and stuff.

So I think it will be worth it, although my faith waivers at 6AM.
