I am usually walking at this time. It is extremely foggy on this mountain. Not safe for walking at this time.
Late evening yesterday I did manage a 25 minute exercise Bike Ride. That added onto my Bike total of 40.3 miles.
Will log all my total progress for today and the Bike ride later...
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT GOD BLESSED DAY!0 -
@SteveCro Next time your in Evansville, check out some of the more rural roads north of town. I like to follow the Evansville Bicycle Club's Great Pumpkin Metric 25k/50k route (includes ~1,400 ft of climb on the 50k); and am working up to tackling the 100k. There are plenty of other side roads to take off of these routes too.
Thanks! I will have to try some of North roads. The Trail is pretty short, senic but short. I rode it 2 and a half times, gets kinda of redundant. My youngest daughter lives in Evansville now. You from there or visit too? When she was at USI I rode down Boehne Camp Road to another street can't remember but some pretty big hills there.
I live in Evansville. The local cycling club also puts circles with a line coming out of them (like a power button) with the line pointing which way to turn at the next intersection (the previously linked 25/50k and 100k pdf's show examples). I've found that if I follow those there is typically less traffic, dogs, etc. bothering me on the rides.
We've run on the Pigeon Creek Trail a few times, but I've never ridden on it. There's another fairly short trail from USI to Burdette park that's nice with a pretty decent hill (if you're heading towards USI); the trail is only ~3 miles, but it connects to USI Campus and Burdette park (both with trails/roads throughout them) and both connect to roads that are cycled fairly regularly (I've only run here too, so no first hand experience on the friendliness to cyclist).0 -

Missing in action. Long story but have been having dizziness, hearing loss, and tinnitus for a few weeks. My regular doc referred me to an ENT and appt. was yesterday. I do have moderate to severe hearing loss in one ear and they suspect either a virus that settled there or a rupture/fistula of membranes. So for now, prednisone to hopefully restore hearing, no physical activity, no heavy lifting, bending excessively, not even a darn treadmill. Not happy but will be compliant for now. F/U in 1 week. Just wanted to explain my absence. I will be focusing on healthful, portion control for now. Hope to be joining you all again in August. I'll keep checking in..........

finally it IS Friday!!! Although now I have to cram everything I haven't done this week into a single day!!
hopefully tomorrow I can pick up my bike from the shop, and go for a long ride. There's a ride to a reservoir/lake I want to do, but I won't know until I try how hilly it is (there's an evil twisty turny hill to drive to get to it, but I think the cycle route goes around the nasty bit).
Made it finally to a Lindy class but only stayed for one, so little else this week to add to my totals.
Next week I'm off to Northern Ireland for work. Would LOVE to hire a bike and explore, but it may be just something I do on foot for now. Got to get a few more miles in as my month is looking pitiful right now!!! only 74 out of 130 miles achieved so there's a lot still to do and only a week to do it in!!!0 -

Goodmorning all! I'm proud to say that I ran 4 times this week. I can feel myself getting stronger and as a result a little faster. Running a mile straight, on the indoor track at the gym is now a given. With a little more time, running a mile, outside on pavement/concrete with slight hills will also be a cinch! Today I am working a 12 hr shift. During down time I plan on walking. Already at 1.5 miles. Hope to get to 3 miles by end of shift. I WILL finish July strong!0
