107 Days to Go: 3 hour ride

3 Hours cranking away in the gym on a stationary bike. I ate 2 bananas, a tangerine, and an orange. I was basically starved to death at the end of the session.

I ended up reading the rest of my book on pain. I have a lot of respect for this guy after reading his book. It is always ironic reading a book that is telling you pain exists only in the mind while you are experience what feels like a lot of pain in the legs. Actually, the book was quite provocative in my understanding of the interesting connection between pain and pleasure. Pleasure is not possible without pain and pain is not understandable apart from pleasure. There are not pleasure sensors in the body. The same sensors that register pain register pleasure. It is a function of the mind. Very interesting.
