    I had to take a day off the bike yesterday. My body can always tell when it's had enough and I'm overtraining. So this morning I felt spry again and made one of my fastest commutes to work. It pays to rest every now and then.

    Super important I think. I took a bit over a week off after my century back in July--more out of psychological fatigue than physical--and when I got back on the bike I was faster and felt really strong. I think it's also important to switch things up sometimes work on distance, sometimes on speed, sometimes on hills or whatever.

    1/9/2011 - 24.39Km - (15.16 miles) - local loop out of the front door, warm, sunny, gentle breeze
    2/9/2011 - 24.39Km - total 48.78Km (30.32 miles) - as above to the metre!
    4/9/2011 - 17.96Km - total 66.74Km (41.48 miles) - short local loop in the rain before dinner.
    5/9/2011 - 24.42Km - total 91.19Km (56.65 miles) - blowing a hoolie out there think my extra 30m was side to side in the wind!
    6/9/2011 - 24.45km - total 115.64Km (71.84 miles) - horrible, horrible static bike stress testing for my knee injury at hospital - 5 minute warmup and warmdown, with a 10 mile "Keep it at 400+watts" in the middle... 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:
    8/9/2011 - 24.42Km - total 140.06Km (87.01 miles) - normal local loop taking it steady to break my knee in gently
    9/9/2011 - 17.96Km - total 158.02km (98.17 miles) - short loop - Dad's birthday today, & need to buy a present for him :smile:
    10/9/2011 - 24.38Km - total 182.40km (113.32 miles) - normal loop - fiendishly windy.

    Half the month down, and I'm close to being on track (I finished yesterday with 485). Still on track for 1000 though.

    Looks like everyone is doing great against their goals.

    I'm almost at 150 now so count me in for 312.5 (500km)

    Just past the half way point and I'm only at 228km, this is going to be a bit of a push, I think I must have got my math a little confused. Oh well shall push on

    51.4 yesterday at the Waco Wild West ride. I swear 1/3 of it was uphill into the wind. They got some nasty storms after we left town so I guess that's what was blowing in. Still a lot of fun though!
