    Updated Spin/Cycling minutes:
    10/12: 60 min spin class
    10/13: 60 min spin (on my own)
    10/14: Road ride about 60 min (17 miles)

    It appears that I still have a way to go before I can run again (heel injury) so to keep me from getting frustrated about that, I'm going to set a goal for this week to Spin/Cycle everyday. Just for this week. This will be hard, but I'm hoping it will keep my mind off the fact that I can't run.

    I am in for October. Setting my goal for 200 miles. Since last months crash I will be starting slow. Getting better, started riding again today and I think by end of week I will be back to a normal ride 20 miles or so.

    10/1 - 23.5 miles - 13.4 ave - got my goal for the week 1st. day. Hip and Ribs felt good
    10/4 - 18.5 miles - 13.7 ave - very warm but windy SW 25 mph gusts to 31
    10/11 - 32.2 miles - 13.6 ave. - 61* nice out still a little windy
    10/14 - 5 miles - 11.6 ave. - 70* outside but 41 mph winds gusts to 60.





    79.2 miles for October = 1688.7 YTD

    I feel like such a slug. I started this thread and haven't been doing my rides. I am really struggling to find the time. I'm hoping that I can get in a short ride between picking up carpool and driving to swimming lessons. I really need to get out of my All or Nothing mindset. I tend to think that if I don't have time to ride 15-25 miles, then I don't have time to ride at all. 5 miles is better than nothing, right?

    Keep up the good work.

    I was starting to think that unless I did 15-20 miles at a clip, I might as well forget it. Sunday, there was a roadblock where I usually ride so I only got 5 miles in and not 15-20. I discovered that was ok too. Five miles is better than nothing. With daylight shorter I may only get in 5 instead of my usual 15-20. I am trying to convince myself that short rides are better than no rides. I hope I meet my goal this month.

    Finished a Century last month so I am trying to keep the momentum up through the fall and winter. Due to work I have to spin during the week with a 12 mile ride on Sats and 35-40 miler on Sundays.

    Well halfway done anyway - still have the ride home to do and I really am NOT looking forward to it. Tail wind this morning was good but I'm hoping it dies down for the ride home!!

    Cant believe how close I'm getting to my goal already!! But I dont think I'll be able to cycle in much more, its getting too dark :-( unless I invest in some awesome lights...can anyone suggest any good ones on a budget??
