    Had my shoes on, my helmet on, my ipod and my Strava looking for my GPS. Then my 3 year old NEEDED me to snuggle. Now he's ready for bed and it's dark outside. Oh Well, tomorrow is Saturday and I should be able to get a good ride in.

    I'm a newb and I have no idea what to do or if there are schedules I can follow to get better. Today I rode my bike 10.6 miles and burned 900 cals by the time I got home :) I had a HRM on.

    That is awesome. As far as this thread goes, we just post whatever we're doing. There is no real format to it here, I'm not organized enough to make it any more official looking.:blushing:

    15.2 miles today, and I actually felt like I could have gone farther. I didn't because I was out of water.
