TWO HOURS!

Well, I finally did it. I biked for two hours (43.6 miles). I biked for 1 hour 20 minutes straight, then I got off for a few minutes and stretched. I jumped right back on for another 40 minutes. It wasn't easy.

The first 1/2 hour was pretty normal and I didn't fidget too much. The second 1/2 hour I struggled quite a bit, but to my surprise the next 20 minutes were not too bad. After my little break the next 20 minutes or so I struggled a lot, but the last stretched went surprisingly smooth. I have a feeling that my rides will continue to have its ups and downs.

Pain is good

On Tuesday I went to bed early and didn't workout at all. Wednesday I went to kickboxing class. Yesterday, I biked for a 1/2 hour (11.1 miles) and then went to Vinyasa class. I had a kick butt upper body workout at class last night. My arms and shoulders are feeling it today. Pain is good when it's a good pain.

My butt hurts!

I went to yoga yesterday. It was difficult for me to concentrate, but I got through it. I biked for 1 1/2 hours tonight (31.7 miles). I'm glad that I broke pass the one hour mark. It was difficult and my butt hurts!

Still going....

I decided to take Wednesday off and get some sleep. I really needed it. I went to Vinyasa class Thursday night. I did better than I expected. My shoulder hurt a little when we started, but that quickly went away.

I did not make time last night to workout, but I should have. I did, however, force myself home and on the bike at 8:30 tonight. I biked for an hour (21.4 miles) and now I'm going to bed.

Endurance will come

I biked for a hour tonight (18.5 miles). I seem to be hitting a mental wall at the one hour mark. I keep reminding myself that it is more important that I just keep getting on the bike, the endurance will come. I also have to take into consideration that I am working out at night after being at the office for 9 plus hours. I'm just proud of myself every time I exercise.

Trainer Tire

I put my trainer tire & wheel on my bike tonight. I adjusted the cyclometer for the tire size. I think I did everything right. I bike for an hour (17 miles). I have a different tire, wheel,, and cassette. I am assuming that is what has affected my distance.

Naps are good

I went to yoga yesterday and had a nice workout. I really pushed myself to the limit. I came home and took a little nap after dinner (45 minutes). Then it was on the bike for an hour (15 miles). I don't know if I would have been able to bike an hour if I had not taken that nap.

Pretty good week

I rode the bike Friday night for a half hour (7.6 miles). I woke up Saturday and rode again before getting ready for work. Half hour (7.4 miles). It has been a pretty good week. I biked a total of 56.6 miles this week. I really feel like I'm getting back in the exercise groove. I had to force myself earlier this week to exercise. Now I'm craving it again.

I kicked butt tonight

I went to kickboxing last night and had a great workout. I went to Vinyasa (yoga) class tonight and then came home and rode the bike for 30 minutes (8.5 miles). What a great workout for me, but I'm sure going to feel it tomorrow.

A little off..

I had all intentions of doing 1 - 1 1/2 hours on the bike last night. After about 30 minutes I felt like my blood sugar went wacky. I felt light headed and weak. I did a total of 35 minutes (9 miles) and called it a night. I fell asleep about a 1/2 hour later.

I don't know what was wrong but I feel better today. Guess I was just a little off. Nothing new to those who know me :-)

---------------------------------------------

I had a nice ride tonight. I would have loved to ride outside. It was a beautiful day, but I didn't get home until dark. The bike isn't ready to go back outside yet anyway.

I rode for 1 hour (14.6 miles) tonight. It was much better than last night. I didn't feel light headed or weak.

Busy day = short workout

Well it was a very busy Sunday for me. I was only able to get on the bike for 35 minutes (9.5 miles). I hope to get at least an hour in tomorrow.

Feeling good, but sleepy

I felt pretty good riding tonight. I always have trouble with the first 15 minutes. My mind wanders on all the other things I could be doing (like sleeping). After awhile I get into it. I biked for an hour tonight (16 miles). I'm sleepy and I have to work tomorrow. Good Night.

The 'B' is back!

Biker that is....What were you thinking??? I'm finally done with my class and I'm ready to get back on track. I did go to kickboxing last Wednesday, but that was it for exercise.

Tonight I biked for 1 1/2 hours (23.2 miles). I'm ready to get my training going. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
