March 13 – 13 miles – because the wind slowed me down
March 14 – 10 miles - because the wind kills me
March 15 – 10 miles – because the wind was too much again

Total – 215!!!

I haven't been tracking miles. I will though. I ride 40min. to 90min. 5 days a week...I am guessing 10 to 15 miles a ride. So that would be at least 200 miles a month in February and March and probably 50-100 in January. I really need to learn to use this site better...a lot of my friends are runners.

I am setting my goal at 3 centuries. Finished 1 1/2 last month
