    Thanks for the good wishes everyone--they were greatly appreciated! So I am kicking myself for saying I should drop out of the challenge yesterday--I need my time on the bike. So lets count Monday and Tuesday as my off days for the challenge.

    I got out on my bike for about 50 minutes this morning-I have a 12 mile route around town but had to change it up quite a bit as there are still a lot of streets closed with trees down. Several times I had to get off the bike and walk over/under the power lines across the road. Getting out around town, I realize that while I had quite a bit of damage to my house it could have been a lot worse. And thankfully no one one in town was hurt (I was about 5 minutes from going out the door for my morning ride)! The weather service has said we had winds over 110 mph-that is just crazy.

    Thanks again everyone!

    Who rode today, 7/13?

    I'm so sorry Hawkeye! *HUG* We have lived in and have family and friends in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Many of our friends there said after the tornado, going on bike rides kept them sane, even when they had no home left to go to...

    I rode a quick hour of neighborhood hilly laps as I have a 9am meeting this morning

    Who rode today, 7/14?

    I rode 1.5 hours today with M, but her brake was messed up so we stopped to work on it and rode slow to deal with it, so I didn't get much of a workout. I ride harder alone but it's so nice to have someone to ride with some of the time!

    I apologize if I'm slow updating the next few days. We'll be traveling and I'm officiating three sets of races on the weekend and Mr. Wonderful is racing. 1200 miles driving on Friday and Monday!

    Be careful out there!

    Woot! I'm in for 60 minutes for 7/15.

    I've been trying to pace myself more and go for endurance rather than speed. The downside is that my average endurance speed (on my bike trainer) is 15 mph, at which point my heart rate likes to rest JUST below the target zone. Lame! Oh well. Progress. :smile:
