    8/1 - 0
    8/2 - 7.0 miles.
    8/3 - 7.2 miles.
    8/4 - 1.2 miles. I mowed today instead of riding.
    8/5 - 1.0 miles. I finished mowing today instead of riding. Neighbor a couple doors down got hit on his bike Friday (hit & run). He didn't even fall, but wound up with a compound fracture of his left elbow. Be careful out there people. AND WEAR A HELMET.
    8/6 - 5.4 miles outside on a rainy day. Found a farmer's dog dead on the side of the road. Sad.
    8/7 - 6.2 miles.
    8/8 - 5.5 miles. My first ride without my Walkman (external speakers, not earbuds). I require music.
    8/9 - 0 miles. Rest day.
    8/10 - 10.0 miles. That's my longest ever ride. I've done 10 miles before, but split in two. It was also my fastest ride, averaging 11.8mph. It was hard. I am a wimp. That is okay.
    8/11 - 4.4 miles. Had to cut my route short because I was again attacked by dogs. Got my leg pretty good. The really scary thing about it is that since I'd never seen those dogs before on that route, they scared the crap out of me and I turned my bike such that if there had been a car coming from either direction (50 mph speed limit road), I would have been dead. I cannot ride fast enough to out-run the dogs. I almost cried. :(
    8/12 - 6 miles (another new route).
    8/13 - 4.9 miles between storms (barely got home in time).
    8/14 - 7.5 miles (took neighbor with me for the first 2 miles, then on my own).
    8/15 - 3.3 miles (short ride cuz I had to mow too).
    8/16 - 0 miles. Mowed instead. Finally found out that the dog that bit me is up to date on shots.
    8/17 - 0 miles. Too fatigued.
    8/18 - 0 miles. 45 minutes of mowing soggy yard instead.
    8/19 - 2.5 miles in the dark. Way too many bugs at night on rural route. Ewww.
    8/20 - 5.9 miles. I felt sluggish, but the numbers tell me I did okay.
    8/21 - 5.9 miles.
    8/22 - 6.3 miles.
    8/23 - 5.2 miles. Would have liked to go a little more, but I rode faster than usual and it was 92 degrees outside.
    8/24 - 0 miles. Stormy day.
    8/25 - 8.2 miles. Longest ride since the dog bite (still healing). I felt sluggish, but still managed to average 10.3 mph which is satisfactory for me. Saw two dead snakes along the way. Ewww.
    8/26 - 0 miles. Mowed instead.



    Goal = 100 miles.
    Accomplished MTD = 103.6 miles.
    Remaining miles = 0. Goal reached on 8/25.
