    Found the winter shoes and still froze my toes on the trainer in the garage.

    My goal is more than last month (which was just under 120, I think).

    On the bike trainer:
    12/1 - 60 minutes - 13.42 miles
    12/2 - 30 minutes - 7.61 miles
    12/3 - 60 minutes - 14.58 miles
    12/5 - 30 minutes - 6.42 miles (much higher resistance because had to use a different trainer)
    12/7 - 30 minutes - 7.33 miles (so glad my trainer is repaired!)
    12/8 - 30 minutes - 8.12 miles (pushed myself)
    Total so far: 57.47 miles

    I need to get out of my 30 minute rut, but there's just so little time.

    How are y'all doing? :flowerforyou:

    I think it's partly a circulation thing - on hard efforts on the indoor trainer, my fingers and toes do get a little cold - asked my Dr. about it, and he explained that the bulk of the blood supply is diverted to the bits where the work is being done - i.e. the leg muscles, and the circulation to the extremeties just gets a little lower - so they feel cold / look pale. You can aid it by not tightening up your shoes too tight, and - perversely - not putting on particularly thick socks - if you're really troubled, apply 'belgian kneewarmers" to them - embrocation/heat rub :wink:

    I'm the same, with respect to the rut - but in my case it's around a hour to 75 minutes - I really do need to get outside, and step up the duration of my rides, if I'm going to manage anything decent next year.

    Otherwise, everything's fine and dandy, Chez Yin - now, I really do need to hit the shower - it was a bit warm chasing those Rabobank riders on the Virtual Trainer earlier :wink:

    I think that above, the key was in the comment "...on the trainer in the garage" :smile:

    Though if you mean what people in general are riding - it's pretty much anything - Road bike, Mountain Bike, Tandem, Unicycle, Indoor trainers, Gym bikes or Spinning Classes - if it's got pedals, and it gives you a distance you've ridden, you can book it in :laugh:

    Gorgeous day in AZ for a ride! Not so much this morning when it was 28 degrees (no thanks!) but by 2pm it was 63 degrees so I snuck out to get in a quick ride before the kiddos came home from school. Slight winds -- why do headwinds always have to be on the way home?? I prefer them on the outbound when I have more energy, thank you very much!

    December 1: 22 km-cold, but not raining
    December 4: 20 km-cold, not raining and the sun did finally come out in the afternoon.
    December 6: 46 km- rode to and from work today, tired tonight
    December 7: 20 km- decided to take the shorter route with 5 km along highway and tried to ignore the big scary trucks.
    December 8: 20 km- cold, but sunny. I forgot my darn keys at school again and could not lock my bike up at my drop off spot and had to put it on the trolley to get it up the mountain and then walk the final 1.5km up the mountain. I hope by next spring I will be able to ride most of the way up this dang mountain, but I am not there yetl :grumble:

    I am getting a slow start this month due to sub freezing temperatures in the morning. It is hard to get the motivation to get up and going to work when it is as cold as it has been. But I am still on target with 55 miles month to date.

    If you use garmin connect website this may interest you. Last month I requested a feature on the reports to let you see month to date and year to date from the drop down and they implemented it. That is some good customer service. I also bought the droid app for a dollar and I am going to test it tonight. If it works well I won't have to wear my watch while riding anymore.

    Brrr...

    BrianAir, that "month to date" thingie is a Godsend! I've been using the heck out of it. Thanks!

    However, for the past several days Garmin Communicator just won't work for me (the fancy uploading thing) and when tries the check to see if it's on my computer it just hangs up and of course, it's on my computer (each of them!) but it has stopped working. Of course, I get around that by using the manual upload.

    My goal is more than last month (which was just under 120, I think).

    On the bike trainer:
    12/1 - 60 minutes - 13.42 miles
    12/2 - 30 minutes - 7.61 miles
    12/3 - 60 minutes - 14.58 miles
    12/5 - 30 minutes - 6.42 miles (much higher resistance because had to use a different trainer)
    12/7 - 30 minutes - 7.33 miles (so glad my trainer is repaired!)
    12/8 - 30 minutes - 8.12 miles (pushed myself)
    12/9 - 35 minutes - 9.80 miles (pushed myself a bit more)
    Total so far: 67.28 miles

    I need to get out of my 30 minute rut, but there's just so little time.

    How are y'all doing? :flowerforyou:
