    Pretty great numbers here! I'm 49 female, 188 when I restarted exercise and counting calories after having just quit a stressful job where I gained 40lbs.

    Less than a week in and waking my body up with dog walks, stretching, Pilates-like moves and today I finally made it back to my bike.

    I have a Sun bicycle, one speed, foot forward. My terrain is flat and low slopes with some dirt roads. I started with 5 miles today in 34 minutes, average heart rate of 155, speed of avg 8 MPH. My previous best over 2 years ago was 10 miles in an hour. Only so fast you can go on a one speed. I get higher intensity when I pick the dirt roads more, or alternate by riding the grass instead of the sidewalk.

    My workout options now include dog walks 1.5 miles now, used to do 2.5. Cycling, Pilates and resistance with flat bands, and free weights. I have an la fitness membership so I can go heavier when I'm ready.

    Is there a mile tracker? I bike everywhere unless it's downpouring then I take the bus. I've never counted the amount of miles I go.

    Apps >>> MapMyRide & Strava. Each have their own +/- but both are free and work well. Hardware >>> Garmin, CatEye, etc...

    I just use a computer on my bicycle, and then type the numbers into an Excel spreadsheet. :)

    March: 409.33 km (254.34 miles) = 21 hours 55 min
    April: 384.15 km (238.7 miles) = 20 hours 35 min
    May: 259.06 km (160.9 miles) + 45 min cycling inside
    June: 493.53 km (306.6 miles) = 25 hours 31 min + 215 minutes (3 hours 35 min) cycling inside
