Jen, congratulations on getting a trainer.
I agree that for interval training, the trainer really makes it easy. One thing you might consider doing is a MAP test. Since you don't yet have a power meter, you can use the trainer and speed as guide, since speed is relative to power on a trainer. After a good warm-up, start at about 15 MPH and add 1 MPH per minute until you can no longer go anymore. If you make it beyond 30 seconds at your highest speed, keep the data. It's a convenient way to see if you are making improvements by performing the test periodically.
I used the Edge to collect data and be able to compare it later.

I hope to get the Canadians, and then the Penguins on our way to the Cup. Payback for both of them...

If Boozer stops playing like a pansy, the Bulls are dangerous.

Since the Devils didn't make the playoffs for the first time in 14 yrs, I don't care who wins as long as the Rangers and Flyers lose. One out of two so far. I enjoy watching the Caps and the Habs though.

I just realized that I have had my new PowerTap wheel for over two months now and I still haven't mounted a tire or cassette on it. I suck.

I have them, just been lazy. Plus I doubt I could have touched yours for what I paid (employee purchase).

Nobody asked for them, but that's never stopped me from foisting my photos on the hapless - short slideshow of an additional 6 panoramas taken this morning.

I thought I put that 14mm wrench in my saddle bag, but nope.
Swapped saddles on my backup bike. Saddle evidently wasn't tight enough.
No wrench = shorter ride. Last mile standing.
At least the saddle didn't fall off.
