Ok Gang--

End of first week--how did everyone do with their goals?

I got in 104 miles for the week. Next week will stink--have to leave town tomorrow and won't be back until Thursday and no riding while I'm gone. :grumble:

Hey--we need a name for our biking club!!

    I did 107. My goal was 65. My husband rode with me today and I think we are going to get up early and ride before church tomorrow so I may end up with even more for the week!

    Hope you have a good trip shorerider. You can't throw your bike on a bike rack and take it with you????

    I could but I'm not going to have time to ride--I'll be busy from early in morning until late evening. And, we'll be in western VA in the mountains, and I'm not ready for mountains yet!

    Last week (June 8-14)
    Sunday 22.1 miles
    Tuesday 28.7 miles
    Friday 14.3 + 18.5
    Total: 83.6 miles

    This week: All I'll get in is the 13.5 I did yesterday. I'm off to visit relatives and to a conference, then I return and go directly to Massachusetts to see my husband's relatives. No biking or swimming and probably no time to run while I'm gone, either. Be safe this week.

    I did my goal!!!

    I used my DH's bike and didn't eat a single bite of pavement! Not even a little pebble! Yey me!

    Its too big to ride too much...so I decided to make slow goals. I'm surprised at how "scared" I was to go riding again. I can feel/see myself falling all over again. I think it's one of the first times I had gotten back on a bike and was actually afraid to ride! I so need to get over myself!

    I ended up riding 13 miles Sunday so my weekly total was 130!

    Today starts a new week, I presume. I only did 10.5 today. Feeling a bit under the weather and almost didn't go out at all but felt better after I did. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and I will have more energy!!

    Day 1--> 10.5

    Did 9.7 miles today. Found out yesterday I had a UTI, so that would explain why I felt so cruddy the last few days. I had to really push myself yesterday to just do 8 miles. I started antibiotics yesterday and can all ready tell a huge improvement from yesterday!!

    I think I am going to go for a BIG ride Friday. One child is leaving for the beach early Friday and the other will be at day camp all day so I might go for a long one. I have not mapped it out yet, but when I do I will let you know.

    Monday-10.5
    Tuesday-8.2, plus an hour of boot camp
    Wednesday-9.7, plus an hour of boot camp

    I'M BACK!!

    Hoping to get in a 20 mile ride in the morning and then a longer one Friday or Saturday. Will have to see how my legs feel after a 4 day break.

    Went looking at bikes while I was gone. I found Giant one that looked pretty decent for $650. Still looks of research and shopping to do though.

    My head was spinning with all the talk the guy was doing about pedals and shoes and etc. etc. etc.!

    Ok--got in 20 miles this morning but it was tough! So nice out, too--56 degrees when I started! Just beautiful weather. Light wind, too. But it felt so hard--not sure if the 4 day break was too long or what but that was a hard ride!

    I just got back from a 40 MILE RIDE! THE LONGEST SO FAR AND....

    I FEEL GREAT!

    I almost didn't go today since yesterday's ride was so bad and I felt so sluggish but I felt so strong today. My legs feel great!

    Burned up 1510 calories, too!!!!!!

    Against my better judgement, I rode my bike in the heat of the day. That being said, it was a rather mild day here in central Alabama (if there is such a thing as that in the summer). Low humidity and a breeze so it really didn't feel like 90 degrees. I rode 12.5 miles in BFA (Bumble FUDGE Alabama). I decided to be adventurous and hit some back roads. In the middle of the day it was not too scary, but early morning...I would be terrified that some backwards Alabama redneck might shoot me with a shotgun!! Next time I venture to the back roads I think I will take my hubby with me!!

    Monday-10.5
    Tuesday-8.2, plus an hour of boot camp
    Wednesday-9.7, plus an hour of boot camp
    Thursday-10, plus an hour of boot camp
    Friday-12.5 miles

    I got in 15.5 this morning. Was really windy :angry:

    Wanted a short ride after yesterday's 40 miler, too.

    That gives me 75.5 miles for the week, which for me consists of the last 3 days since I didn't get back home until Wednesday night!
