    Some of you guys crack me up. You exceeded your starting goal for the month and post as if you didn't even come close. I've also seen some exellent mile increases. Not everyone met their goal, I know I didn't, but this is a new month, and I just need to get some miles in...period.

    I guess understating mileages - certainly in my case - comes from my much younger days when I was racing, and if anyone ever asked you about your training mileages, the answer was always "Oh, I've been off the bike nearly all last month, had a bit of a virus I couldn't shake". You'd get that reply from guys in April in the UK, that had deep mahogany coloured tan-lines (which just HAD to be gained at an overseas training camp :laugh:), an obvious 2% overall body fat, and a backside that was so rendered down it looked like 2 hard-boiled eggs in a lycra hankerchief. So, playing down riding miles just becomes a way of life. :laugh:

    I'm in it again! This month, I'll shoot for 150 miles so that I can be more toned and athetic like all of you. Also the Biggest Loser is scheduled to start up again this month and I want to compete at home by doing more. Here's to a productive month for everyone!

    I'm going for 350 miles this month, although if the weather gods are kind I can make 400. Three day weekend hopefully will add to my distance.

    Exactly 25 miles today.

    On google maps I discovered a new bike path that I hadn't seen before, so I hopped on my bike and went to it. I'm thinking the path isn't official any more because I had to ride about 1/2 a mile through a field to get to it and it wasn't in good shape. It was kind of fun, though, especially getting to take my cyclecross bike off road.

    Total today is 26.14 mi and total for the month is 51.14 mi.

Yuk! Then, just for good measure, they stick 3 big needles in my knee, and can't give me any results for a couple of days... I've been happier :grumble:

    Yep, I'm having trouble too! Mine is trying to update a "conceive ticker"????? It's not allowing me to update my exercise ticker. How weird?
