Checkin\u2019 IN!!!<\/h3>\n

Shoes \u2013 On \u2013 Cloudflow<\/a><\/p>\n

I got some new shoes!!!  Anyway, not a lot of information, but I did finally pull the trigger on the On shoes.  I lost a shoe the other day at the gym, so I had to take an OLDER set of shoes.  Well I had a weird feeling in the one foot, and when I looked at things.  I found what felt like a tack.  I didn\u2019t have any broken skin or anything, but it was bothering me a lot.  Every few hundred or so yards, I was looking at my foot.  So, I went to the shoe store for the NYRR store at the Columbus Circle Time Warner mall.  I haven\u2019t been very impressed with the store, as I have walked through a few times.  A very well stocked and social store, and very focused on the clubs and teams and social oriented folks that frequent this store.  So far, though!  I like the shoes.  More to come.<\/p>\n

Other things.  Back to some family centric things this weekend.  We were able to get the shed cleared out, and I decided to not go for a ride, but got a super solid swim in on Friday. <\/p>\n

The swim:  I was listening to the podcast I tend to listen to and concentrate on the most : 
\n#190 \u2013 Stop Giving Power To Negative Thought <\/a><\/p>\n

Mike was talking about his swim and his \u2018reach\u2019.  And I got to thinking.  I tend to feel like I am reaching and not going anywhere.  So I shortened up my stroke a bit, relaxed my effort and kept my avg time per 100 way lower than I expected.  It felt good too.  The whole swim is about feeling it and it just happening.  It was an over all solid swim.  now to get back to a good volume and repetition and consistency.<\/p>\n

The other thing of note is the following:
\nBicyclist killed in car collision<\/a>
\nIdaho bicyclist dies in Cache County collision<\/a><\/p>\n

This guy is\/was my age.  A sad day in our community.  I had about 4-5 folks reach out to check on me and I even recorded a quick Facebook Live.  Sad day.  So, ride safe and good luck out there.  I\u2019m still inching out of my dark space.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Activities \u2013 <\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I use the following trackers:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Garmin Connect (which pushes the files to the following services):<\/li>\n
  2. Training Peaks<\/li>\n
  3. Strava<\/li>\n
  4. and the ones I don\u2019t remember (Map my stuff via Under Armour and things like the Great Bicycle ride initiative stuff)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Honestly, I mainly use Training Peaks as I pay for an annual subscription on it now, and it is the most detailed in data and other helpful information to keep me where I want to go.<\/p>\n
