    Woo, had to do a bike delivery for the munchkin (it was too cold for her to ride in this morning but she wants to ride home from school in the afternoon, so Mom to the rescue lol) and did a Zwift event (and had to round out the miles for that extra exp). Busy bike day, though both efforts didn't take very long.

    @SavageMrsMoose I feel the same way when it comes to my walking (can't quite run yet - I managed a couple of jog intervals, but today my ankle is mildly reprimanding me for that)!

    Today was a Zwift workout day, plus had to deliver the bike to the munchkin once again. Her little cruiser would be /so/ much better if the frame was, ya know, actually my size lol - and the seat post were adjusted to my height. Sucks being 5'10" riding a bike set up for a 5'2" twerp!

    35.97 Road... amazing 72˚ day today. And a NBD! Trek Checkpoint with Di2. Still getting it dialed in but a much nicer ride than my old cyclocross frame.

    @Rich_SC Thats a fine ride there! I’m also jealous of that weather, which we Californians don’t often say. I’m looking at 37 degrees for my morning ride tomorrow. Looking forward to riding without so many layers.

    @wendsg Lol at riding your daughter’s bike!!! 5’10” is tall. I’m 5’6” but was one of the tallest in my class in elementary school and hated it! But wish I were taller now!

    Today DID have glorious weather - girl rode her bike in herself so I didn't have to suffer on the midget frame.

    Unfortunately I fubar'd my sleep schedule, so I ended up too busy to make it outside today. 😭 At least there's Zwift for the daily ten.

    Keep shivering, @wendsg - 22 miles and 1400’ at 37 degrees this morning. Back under the covers trying to reanimate the toes. 4 top layers, 2 lower layers, 2 socks, “head thingie,” toe covers, and insulated gloves. Like dressing for battle.

    I was looking at my Peloton mileage and I've missed an 8 mile ride. I had just over 100 miles in January for my Silver badge and I've already gotten 106 this month... I'll figure it out and make the adjustment with my next right. I need credit for every mile if I'm going to catch up!!!

    @SavageMrsMoose
    I did a 45 minute Progressive Run with Matt Wilpers on Saturday and it was a class after his wedding and he mentioned Nicaragua AND CR - he must have popped over for some honeymooning in Costa Rica afterwards. My husband and I also did a day trip to Nicaragua.. that's the closest I've ever been to Matt I'm sure. I'm such a fan girl I'm not sure what I would have done if I saw him!
    I actually don't have Instagram anymore.. I gave up social media a while ago so I sometimes lurk on my husband's account but don't have one of my own

    Back at home and back on the bike!
    I did do some runs and tons of walking and other things while I was away, but I feel super out of shape.
    In any event, time to get back at it! I WILL hit 2023 miles but I have some major catch up to do!

    Had a nice mountain bike ride yesterday; the first fat tire ride of the year. Over 2700’ of climbing (MFP called it “leisurely” since I can’t ride 15mph up 10% dirt grades. Fine.
    It was very windy today (up to 50mph!), so I rode my stationary bike while watching a training video. Whatever works!

    300 / 2023 YTD (I’m not gonna catch @wendsg at this rate!)

    @billbiggers06 LOL 's not a competition quite like that, my friend. :wink: Besides, I'm still super jealous of you being able to ride in such beautiful terrain. (and MFP is rather funny - it tells me I'm racing if I put in raw stats when I go out on my carbon fiber road bike in a group ride lololol)

    Finished this week's Zwift workout program a day early because tomorrow starts Rapha Rising and me dying on virtual mountains. Please wish me luck - tomorrow is the Climber's Gambit route to kick it off. This is the easiest day at only 2198 feet of climbing. :D:# 💀👻

    Climbing done. I fear my right knee is going to detach itself from my body and murder me in the night.

    Better rest up, though - Rapha Rising stage 2 is tomorrow, and it's the Tour of Fire And Ice route. Only 3809 feet of climbing! Weeeeee!!!! 💀
