    I'm sad I only got to long in 149 miles so far in the month of September. My legs won't heal fast enough to get more mileage on the bike. Dang leg cramps/spasms...

    I did my personal best today! 15.32 miles in 60 min! I was so pumped afterwards that I did another 30 minutes AND had a better time with going 7.72 miles in 30 min.

    Earlier today I had a checkup with my doctor. He was so surprised to see me. On January 19, 2011, I weighed 287 lbs (I had already lost 10 lbs from the beginning of the year) and today I weighed 249 lbs! For my reward, he prescribed a high blood pressure pill that is half of the dosage that I'm taking now. I'll see him again at the end of December. My goal - to be 20lbs lighter AND I can do it with all of this cycling! BTW, my doctor thought that if I kept losing weight, I could be entirely off of my high blood pressur pill. Whoo-Hoo! It's on like Donkey Kong!

    Wow, I am so proud and happy for you. You are doing great. I love to see this improvement. Don't forget to log your food every day, keep under your calorie goal, and I am sure your doctor has told you this, but: Watch your salt intake too. Keep it as low as you can.

    I hit 371 miles for the month. Not bad when looking back at all the days I couldn't or didn't ride. My goal was 350, so that's good, but I am going for 400 next month and will make it. It is about to start raining and I have the rain gear in the mail from amazon.

    I just have to ask, how did you ever arrive at 2,911 miles for you goal for the year? Why not 3,000 or 2950 or an even number? I just had to ask....

    It is actually the number google maps give me for the distance between downtown San Francisco and downtown NYC along I-80. I started in April and one cross country trip seemed like a good goal for the rest of the year. I am just outside of Aurora, IL on my virtual trip.
