Show me your war face!

Winter is really starting to suck, and I just couldn't bring myself to ride outside today. So in keeping my promise not to ride the trainer at all this year I pulled out the stepper. I have had this thing for 15 years and it can still dish out the most agonizing indoor workout I have ever experienced. It feels like a mix of hill climbing, intervals, and leg press all at once.




















About 10 miniutes into it.














Half way, can you feel it? By this point I have left all my testosterone dripping from the stepper, and no, I did not take my pants off to do that.












Post workout, with a nice closeup of my favorite shirt.












Hopefully the weather will break soon and I can get back to the Knob. In the meantime I can only dream of flowing ribbons of singletrack, and maybe the GT cheerleaders.
