Butt-Bike time

Thursday, April 30, 2009

I got on the bike when I got home tonight. It did not matter that it was raining. I needed to have some Butt-Bike time. I rode for an hour (11.4 miles) in the rain. Although my butt was a little tender by the time I got home, it felt fine within 5 minutes. I must be getting use to it.

I did go to yoga Tuesday night and kickboxing Wednesday. I leave for Virginia tomorrow until Tuesday. Hopefully I will at least get some walking in.

Wind & rain

Monday, April 27, 2009

I stuck to the neighborhood on the bike today. I knew it was going to rain but I did not know if we were going to have lightning. I did not want to be too far from the house. I rode for 1/2 hour (6 miles) and was heading into the wind for about half of it. It started to rain the last 10 minutes or so. riding in the wind was a challenge. I could not keep my speed up and my legs had a nice workout.

I also went to kickboxing class and I'm ready to go to bed.

Need a new route

Sunday, April 26, 2009

I went the downtown route on the bike again. It was a little easier. I need to find a different route though. It took me 1/2 hour to do the 6.5 miles. I could have gone faster this time except I had to keep slowing down to pass people walking.

Eric and I took the dogs for a 1 1/2 mile walk when I got home from the biking.

Better bike ride

I got up this morning and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't storming. I got on the bike and rode downtown and through the park. It took about 1/2 hour (6.5 miles). My speed isn't where I would like it to be, but I'll get there. I didn't do too bad on the small hills. I'll just keep pushing myself.

This Week

Friday, April 24, 2009

I have been getting back into the exercise groove this week.

Monday - kickboxing
Tuesday - yoga
Wednesday - kickboxing
Thursday - vinyasa

Today(Friday) - I went out on the bike for 1/2 hour (6.7 miles). I wasn't going for speed or distance. I wanted to ride 1/2 hour just to get my body (& butt) use to being on the bike for more than 10-15 minutes. It was hard for the first 10 minutes, but then my legs got use to it. My butt on the other hand is tender. Now I have to take the dogs for a 1 1/2 mile walk.

Getting back into it

Saturday, April 18, 2009

I only did 3 miles on the bike today. It's hard to get started again. I'm still recovering from tax season. I slept this afternoon for 2 1/2 hours but I must have needed it.

I did go to a 2 hour Yin Yoga class tonight. Poses are held for 3-10 minutes. It is to get into the connective tissue. It really is a challenge to hold a pose for that long of time. I'll keep trying to get back into my biking.

Starting over again?

Thursday, April 16, 2009

Over the past month and a half I have been up and down hills and around many turns. Now I want to do them on my bicycle. After not biking since March 5th I feel like I'm starting all over. I really haven't done much exercising since March 5th either.

I took the bike on the road today (3 miles). It was fun but hard. I then took the dogs for a 1 1/2 mile walk and went to Vinyasa class. I'm exhausted.
