When I was a kid, I had a tough time with truth telling. Then, one day, I realized that lying did not a) make me feel good; or b) accomplish my goals very well, and if it did, I still felt like crap about it. So, I then turned into a neurotic truth teller.
And so, it is confession time.
I learned last Friday that I have been misleading you all for a year. The bikes at our gym have a computer readout that says "trip." I always believed that this meant "miles travelled." On Friday, one of the guys in my class informed me that this was not, in fact, the case. Rather 1 = 200 revolutions, rather than 1 = 1 mile.
So... my mileage world has come crashing down, and I realize I actually have no idea what my real mileage is.
I know I could have just kept quiet and gotten away with it, and no one probably cares all that much - but my neurotic truth-telling self wouldn't let me do that.
Since it is still a good basis for comparison, I've decided that I'm going to continue to track those trip miles as real miles, even though I know it's not true. But, I figure, as long as you all know that it's a bit disingenuous, I'll feel OK about doing it. (and who knows, maybe it's sort of, kind of accurate... I have no idea).
So, with that out of the way... I rode 17.9 "miles" today. "M"TD - 53.50 -

@hkristine1: God bless your honesty. I remember trying to figure out how many miles I worked out on my elliptical. I had to measure the distance of my stride and divide it into how many revolutions I did after I measured the revolution and when I was done I was so disappointed that I really did not get anywhere for all the sweat and long time I spent on it. So now I am selling it because I feel like I am not getting a workout. So to make you not feel so bad, I thought I would share this little lie with you and hopefully you will get a laugh.

If it's not too late, I'd like to shoot for 150 miles in March.
I'm a little behind, but the weather is improving. So, I should be able to make it before the end of the month.
