@jeanniewes and the rest of the mileage gang...sorry I've not logged in a while... I'm in the process of taking a long break from the forums for a while. Life's just too busy right now for me, and I'm trying to focus more on activity minutes than miles in this season of my life as I'm balancing new work commitments, etc. I just don't have the extra time right now to be posting to the forums in addition to everything else right now.

Great job to all those that are meeting your goals and kicking butt! Keep pushing toward those goals!

Even though I won't quite make my goals, I've exercised more than ever in a month.

Also, I started Whole30 10 days ago and I've been lifting weights on a regular basis. For me, those are BIG wins.

Walk: 15.19/20
Bike: 212.28/250

I'm going to try to bike tomorrow and Sunday also. My knees have been cracking sometimes when I bike, so I'm playing it by ear.

I appreciate the encouragement from this group!

April Highlights

-- First full month as a 50-year old.
-- Cycled 1000 km in April, for the second month in a row! In fact we finished up with 1112 km.
-- Cycled 3000 km during the first third of the year. That's a good start to the year.
-- Cycled a 300 km randonnee + a 200 km randonnee (sanctioned long distance cycling events) on the Easter weekend. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to pull those off, but we had been training for it ... and did it!
-- In completing the events above, we also completed our 4th century in the CAM (Century-A-Month) Challenge. This challenge requires that we cycle 162 km on day in each month of the year, starting in January.
-- Cycled our 6th Petite Year Round Randonneur ride, a 100 km permanent. The Petite Year Round Randonneur requires that we cycle a 100 km event each month of the year, starting in November.
-- On April 29, 1990, I started cycling "seriously" and specifically, I started logging all my cycling distances. Yes, I have kept track of every single kilometre I have cycled since April 29, 1990. On that day, I rode 2 miles and had to take a break at the end of the first mile because it was that difficult. I've built up strength since then!
-- Celebrated my 1-year anniversary as an Australian citizen!
-- And maintained my weight all month.


Looking forward to May!! The plan is that May will be strength and speed month. Gotta get better at climbing hills and faster on the randonnees.
