    11/2 - 28 miles
    11/3 - 8 miles
    11/6 - 17 miles
    11/7 - 18 miles
    11/8 - 23 miles
    11/9 - 17 miles
    11/13 - 8 miles
    11/14 - 23 miles - took the long way home from work and got drizzled on for the last 5 miles. Still felt amazing though, super pumped to be back into the bike routine. And of course I wake up this morning and have a coughing fit that aggravates my lower back issue, so didn't ride in to work today. Bah.

    No cycling, but lots of leg and cardio work in my gym (garage); lots of squats, lunges, skipping, core work, planks and other silliness with my kettlebell. Very sweaty.

    11/16 - 17 miles - typical work commute. We've got our annual work Thanksgiving lunch today, so I may try to take the long way home and make it 23 miles for the day instead of 17.

    Also, not sure if this is of interest, but I recently made it a goal to cycle the same distance that it would take to get to Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada (where I went on my honeymoon) by my first wedding anniversary! It's 2493 miles from my house to Lake Louise and I have til June 24th. According to my projections I should make it pretty easily, especially with some charity rides coming up in the late spring/early summer, but it's a fun goal/nice memory that will motivate me :)

    Last two rides were very contrasting....
    Long, steady ride in the cold on Thursday, 56 miles and the cool temperatures seemed to keep my HR down as I only averaged 131bpm.

    Today it was hard not to boil over despite a huge fan blowing over me - did an hour on the Wattbike trainer doing 210/160 watt six minute intervals. Quite a hateful routine really!!

    October went better than anticipated ... hoping for a good November too! Roughly the same distance/hours as in previous years ... or more. :) I am finished university for a couple months, so hopefully I will have more time to be active.

    Nov 2015: 660.21 km (410.23 miles) = 60 hours 41 min
    Nov 2016: 403 km (250.4 miles) = 52 hours 16 min

    Nov 1 - 7 km walking (85 min) + 16 flights of stairs (12 min) ... that's 16 flights of 20 steps, up and down and including a few steps on each landing. :)
    Nov 2 - 1.4 km walking (17 min) ... mad studying for exam
    Nov 3 - 6.7 km walking (80 min) + 8 flights of stairs (6 min) ... lots of walking to university for exam, between university and work, out to the grocery store to get lunch, and out to dinner later in the day.
    Nov 4 - 7.9 km running (mostly) and walking (65 min) + 1.6 km rowing (10 min) ... I don't run often but I got into the zone!
    Nov 5 - 12.6 km hiking (155 min) ... beautiful local hike!! Some photos below ...
    Nov 6 - 2.6 km walking (30 min) + 10 flights of stairs (8 min)
    Dental appointment Monday after work ... worst extraction I've ever had. Not the fault of this dentist - she was good. Fault of previous dentist and ... tooth root embedded in jaw bone + bad infection surrounding tooth. Had to cut my gum open and dig out the bone. Couldn't freeze me enough.
    I am on cold liquids (ice cream, yogurt, Ensure) and not supposed to exercise for a couple days. She said not even walking but I did need to walk a little bit today (Nov 7).
    Nov 7 - 0.7 km walking (8 min)
    I'm back! That dental surgery really put a dent in my plans. I spent so much time sleeping on Nov 7, 8, and 9
    Nov 8 - 1.6 km walking (20 min)
    Nov 9 - 2.3 km walking (28 min)

    Nov 11 - 5.5 km walking (68 min) + 13.9 km cycling (43 min)
    The walking was between Open Homes in Hobart. Each year we're given the opportunity to explore buildings that we don't normally have access to. This has been going on for several years, and each year we pick a few places that we'd like to see. It's quite interesting!
    The cycling was a test ride to see whether or not my jaw would hold up to the joins in the pavement on the Cycleway and other bumps. It did all right.
    Nov 12 - 1.7 km walking (21 min) + 20.6 km cycling (65 min)
    Nov 13 - 7.9 km walking (98 min) + 14 flights of stairs (11 min)
    Nov 14 - 7.2 km walking (90 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min) ... part of this was a lovely walk to the Botanical Gardens at lunch in summer-like weather!

    I love riding my bike. I live in Canada AND am a fair-weather rider. I've never been a long-distance roadie by any means, but I do enjoy it
    I find I gain a lot of weight over the winter, so this winter I picked up a trainer & treadmill, with the goal of riding 3x ea. week. I learned a few things; riding on the trainer is uninspiring and takes discipline, and it takes more work..there is no coasting..it's 100% pedaling. However while my distance isn't great, I have managed the following:
    Nov 1 - 30min / 10km
    Nov 2 - 47min / 17km
    Nov 6 - 55min / 17 km
    Nov 8 - 30min / 24 km
    Nov10 - 40min / 16km
    Nov 12 - 57min / 18km
    Nov 14 - 52min / 18km
    Nov 15 - 40 min / 16km
    Nov 19 - 45min / 18km

    On days I don't ride, I make sure i get on the treadmill and ensure I reach 10,000 steps for the day.

    I expect time and distances to grow as I get used to moving again.

    Here is my set-up.pcf6ljbrbnaq.jpg

    Well and truly into "coughing my lungs up" season, so looks like yesterday's ride was the end of my month.

    Mon 27 - 24.05 miles: MTD 394.6 / 309.4, YTD 4103.71 / 4000

    Weirdly, my lungs are OK on the bike, albeit I'm a bit down on energy, but once I get off it...!

    Less miles for me this month as I had a holiday in Tenerife. It's been years since I've been there and hadn't realised it has turned into a biking Mecca. The airport had loads of people wheeling bike boxes and bags.

    Unfortunately although I was close to some great looking rides to/around/up Mt Teide (highest point in Spain) I managed to stay in a resort without any bike hire shops. Doh!!
    Could have had one delivered for a minimum 3 day rental but seemed a bit selfish for a family holiday.
    Did manage some Spinning sessions with a view over the Atlantic towards the island of La Gomera.

    Partly as I've gained a whole lot of weight on holiday (that well known condition called "All-Inclusive-Holiday-itis") I've decided to commit to trying to hit 5,000 miles this year. 430 miles required in December.

    So plenty of unpleasant indoor sessions coming up for me.....

    11/29 - 23 miles - 40 degrees when I left work so I took the long way home, mostly in the dark. We've got a few more 40 degree days this week and I'm hoping to get a 40 mile ride in this Saturday before the inevitable snow.

    Going to start logging in December if someone posts a challenge. So far this month I have biked 55 hours...lifted about 5

    2:06 last night
    2:01 tonight

    Trying to hit 700 hours of cycling (only) this year so 65 is the goal for December. I race so volume matters.

    Oh and I do not really log miles, just time. Since I live in Wisconsin almost all my training is inside in my pain cave.

    October went better than anticipated ... hoping for a good November too! Roughly the same distance/hours as in previous years ... or more. :) I am finished university for a couple months, so hopefully I will have more time to be active.

    Nov 2015: 660.21 km (410.23 miles) = 60 hours 41 min
    Nov 2016: 403 km (250.4 miles) = 52 hours 16 min

    Nov 1 - 7 km walking (85 min) + 16 flights of stairs (12 min) ... that's 16 flights of 20 steps, up and down and including a few steps on each landing. :)
    Nov 2 - 1.4 km walking (17 min) ... mad studying for exam
    Nov 3 - 6.7 km walking (80 min) + 8 flights of stairs (6 min) ... lots of walking to university for exam, between university and work, out to the grocery store to get lunch, and out to dinner later in the day.
    Nov 4 - 7.9 km running (mostly) and walking (65 min) + 1.6 km rowing (10 min) ... I don't run often but I got into the zone!
    Nov 5 - 12.6 km hiking (155 min) ... beautiful local hike!! Some photos below ...
    Nov 6 - 2.6 km walking (30 min) + 10 flights of stairs (8 min)
    Dental appointment Monday after work ... worst extraction I've ever had. Not the fault of this dentist - she was good. Fault of previous dentist and ... tooth root embedded in jaw bone + bad infection surrounding tooth. Had to cut my gum open and dig out the bone. Couldn't freeze me enough.
    I am on cold liquids (ice cream, yogurt, Ensure) and not supposed to exercise for a couple days. She said not even walking but I did need to walk a little bit today (Nov 7).
    Nov 7 - 0.7 km walking (8 min)
    I'm back! That dental surgery really put a dent in my plans. I spent so much time sleeping on Nov 7, 8, and 9
    Nov 8 - 1.6 km walking (20 min)
    Nov 9 - 2.3 km walking (28 min)
    Nov 10 - 4.2 km walking (52 min) + 12 flights of stairs (9 min)
    Nov 11 - 5.5 km walking (68 min) + 13.9 km cycling (43 min)
    The walking was between Open Homes in Hobart. Each year we're given the opportunity to explore buildings that we don't normally have access to. This has been going on for several years, and each year we pick a few places that we'd like to see. It's quite interesting!
    The cycling was a test ride to see whether or not my jaw would hold up to the joins in the pavement on the Cycleway and other bumps. It did all right.
    Nov 12 - 1.7 km walking (21 min) + 20.6 km cycling (65 min)
    Nov 13 - 7.9 km walking (98 min) + 14 flights of stairs (11 min)
    Nov 14 - 7.2 km walking (90 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min) ... part of this was a lovely walk to the Botanical Gardens at lunch in summer-like weather!
    Nov 15 - 7.2 km walking (90 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min)
    Nov 16 - 5.6 km walking (70 min) + 14 flights of stairs (11 min)
    Nov 17 - 2.7 km walking (30 min) + 10 flights of stairs (8 min)
    Nov 18 - 162.3 km cycling (507 min) ... November Century!!
    Nov 19 - 3.2 km walking (40 min)
    Nov 20 - 7.1 km walking (88 min)
    Nov 21 - 7.6 km walking (95 min) + 10 flights of stairs (8 min)
    Nov 22 - 10.9 km walking (136 min) + 10 flights of stairs (8 min)
    Nov 23 - 11 km walking (137 min) + 12 flights of stairs (9 min)
    Nov 24 - 7.6 km walking (95 min) + 14 flights of stairs (11 min)
    Nov 25 - 50 km cycling (148 min) + 1.6 km walking (20 min)

    Nov 26 - 19 km cycling (60 min) indoors doing commercial intervals + 10 min weights

    Nov 27 - 6.6 km walking (82 min) + 12 flights of stairs (9 min) + 10 min weights

    Nov 28 - 4 km walking (50 min) + 12 flights of stairs (9 min)

    Nov 29 - 5 km walking (62 min) + 30 flights of stairs (24 min)

    Nov 30 - 10.2 km walking + 12 flights of stairs (9 min)

    OK, didn't quite make 52 hours, but I'm pretty pleased with 50 hours. I wasn't sure I was going to get that much! :) And didn't get quite as much cycling as I would have liked, but November is a funny month that way with wild spring weather.
