My son has registered us for the Tour des Chutes in Bend Oregon in July. That is an event I have had problems with, especially after two accidents. But I have been hammering miles and working on cadence and stuff. Whether my neck holds up is another issue. But gonna give it a shot. So my training is going to change.

Goal: 250.0 miles

06/01 - 16.0 miles cycling (while the weather window was there)
06/01 - 01.0 miles walking with the grand kids
06/01 - 04.0 miles hamster wheel (weather window slammed shut yet again)
06/02 - 01.0 miles walking with the grand kids
06/02 - 20.0 miles hamster wheel (split work today, lots of stuff to do)
06/03 - 01.0 miles walking (at the river with the grand kids)
06/03 - 20.0 miles hamster wheel (split work today, lots of cadence work)

Total: 63.0 miles

Another outdoor bike ride on Friday. 34.98 miles to far.

Adding 4.73 miles



Total miles 14.98

Please put me down for 100 again please

6.35 + 5.37 + 4.34 + 5.05 miles walked

Total miles walked to date

Adding 1 mile.

And stating for the record that HIIT class outside when the thermometer is above 90 means the astroturf gets soft and the heat threatens the skin on your palms.

Just saying.

June 4: Rain day here. Managed to get 11.1 miles in of walking, RW Streak day 7, and a few miles on the bike. Feeling lazy. Not like me. Guess we have those days. Last week of school.
TTD: 54.1 miles

@anaconda469: You are a gutsy gal to tackle such a big challenge. I will keep good thoughts and prayers that your neck and any lingering issues from your prior accidents do not surface.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes. This is a cancer research charity ride, just going to train as much as I can and let the bike do the rest.

June 3rd= 3 miles (2 jogging/1 walking) HOT
June 4th= 12.5 (1 mile running on TM, .5 walking on TM & 11 from ex bike) 94* with high winds today so I was only outside to move the sprinkler around. We are soooo dry here in the northeast corner of MT & NEED rain in a BIG way! Some of the crops aren't even coming out of the ground & ranchers are selling off some of their herds due to not having enough grass growing to feed them. If you're a believer that God is in control I ask you to pray with me that he blesses us with RAIN!!! Thank you!!!!

4 June 10.2 miles
5 June 6.4 miles
MTD 41.2miles

Adding another 6 miles.

Rode Saturday with my girls on some new roads, that I will forever now call "undulating". Thanks @k80flec !

Adding 42.61 miles

We babysat the 2 month old grandson while mom & dad moved house. He did not want to be put down *at all*. Needless to say, I didn't get much moving done beyond small battles with the laundry monster and spider horde (I didn't win), but I feel like I've a good start to the month.

June 1-4, 4.3 miles, all walking.

6/05
33.66 miles
115.50 miles MTD

5th: 1.65 miles elliptical - MTD 29.65

@anaconda469 - as @clepant has said - you're one gutsy woman taking on that challenge. May your training go well.

@Leanz - hope your cold symptoms are clearing up and not wearing you down by lingering coughs.

@kar328 - that sounds dreadful - but it didn't stop you ... a brave woman or a glutton for punishment???

@JTH11706 - I'm hoping the elliptical counts (my argument would be it's not that different from a TM). Between the rain and grandparenting ..... running outside wasn't going to happen.

@vhuber - my thoughts and best wishes are with you and MT.

@djmicheals - hugs to you and the pleasures of a 2 mth old grandchild.

@Just_Ceci - happy to oblige
