@Mari33a It was just a marathon on my treadmill, actually! First time ever running 26.2 miles, though, so for me it was a huge accomplishment. :smile: The longest I'd ever run before that were half marathons. The knee is... well, it's bad, but mostly for pressure like kneeling on it or going down the stairs in the house.…

Took a tumble onto my knee earlier today, so wanted to get my ride in before it decides to stiffen up and bruise. Hoping that light riding keeps it from being a complete butt. Ride 1 - 16.00 miles <- Zwift, new route Previous - 744.25 miles Total - 760.25 miles / 2024 miles (4th) (3rd complete 10/3/24) (2nd complete…

Yesterday was 'finish a metric century for the Gran Fondo badge in Strava' day, and today is more playing around in the Tour of Watopia. One ride for today, because I've got a 10k run starting in... crud, less than an hour lol Ride 1 - 63.01 miles <- 11/14, Zwift Tour of Watopia + more Ride 2 - 20.01 miles <- 11/15, Zwift…

@Chirowalt2018 It's pretty simple! You just say hello (Hello, BTW!) and start logging your milage when you ride and your accumulated total. Personally, I also toss in links to my Strava activities (this is NOT required at all! This just makes me feel warm and fuzzy lol) as proof of what I'm doing. Goal is simply to try and…

Well, the marathon I did on the 28th of October granted me the splendor of Runner's Toe. I finally got some clippers on it on Sunday - the nail is loose on the bed and as soon as suction was broken/the nail was wiggled, it started leaking plasma and blood. The bruising is rather spectacular. It's wrapped and I'm keeping…

So did a sportive on Saturday, took Sunday completely off so my legs would survive my very first marathon effort (in Zwift on a treadmill - absolutely brutal, but as I was running unsupported this was optimal so I could have easy access to water and facilities when necessary) - I was so wasted after that run that I…

Just a meetup today. Short but fun. Ride - 15.00 miles <- Zwift meetup Previous - 405.60 miles Total - 420.60 miles / 2024 miles (4th) (3rd complete 10/3/24) (2nd complete 6/26/24) (1st complete 3/29/24) Link - https://www.strava.com/activities/12743353713

A meetup that was extended into a metric century today - done at very low power to preserve the ol' knees. Ride - 63.01 miles <- Zwift Previous - 342.59 miles Total - 405.60 miles / 2024 miles (4th) (3rd complete 10/3/24) (2nd complete 6/26/24) (1st complete 3/29/24) Link - https://www.strava.com/activities/12727494390

Did one yesterday, 2 today. Fun times. :smile: Would've ridden to the pool and back, but the wind is blowing pretty well outside (meaning I'll have to refill my pond yet again this weekend. Ugh). Ride 1 - 19.02 miles <- Zwift, Tour of Watopia ride 10/21 Ride 2 - 11.01 miles <- Zwift, Meetup 10/22 Ride 3 - 6.00 miles <-…

Overdid it and stressed the knee to the point of pain. Took a couple days worth of break, then came back real easy today. Ride 1 - 19.02 miles <- Zwift, Tour of Watopia ride Ride 2 - 19.01 miles <- Zwift, Tour of Watopia ride Previous - 268.53 miles Total - 306.56 miles / 2024 miles (4th) (3rd complete 10/3/24) (2nd…

@Mari33a I've been trying! Almost there. I think my next couple runs will be quite short, though. And I do have a swim tomorrow, so we'll see how the trapezoid is doing. Logging yesterday's rides before I get to work on today's efforts! Ride 1 - 8.02 miles <- Zwift, Tour of Watopia (warmup) Ride 2 - 11.00 miles <- Zwift,…

Did a number on myself with a pulled muscle combined with plantar fasciitis, so had to take a few days off of fitness. Back in the saddle with Zwift's Power to the Tower route.

@billbiggers06 Congratulations!!!! Fantastic accomplishment! Push for that 3,000, I'm sure you can do it. :wink: Sorry, fell off the face of the planet despite cycling every day. So generic update here. Will resume daily posting, provided I remember!! Please accept a total of what I’ve been doing up to and through today.…

Four days of rides to log. Been Zwifting a lot as always thanks to rotten traffic around here, especially with teenagers driving golf carts on our trail system. Ugh. Can't wait to have another wide open day with good weather to go out onto the gravel paths in the nearby forests again. Ride 1 - 19.06 miles <- 9/16 Zwift,…

Been knocking out the Cardio Crusher workouts in Zwift just for funsies. Tomorrow should wrap those up, then helping some people earn a new Zwift route badge on Tuesday. We'll see what the rest of the week has in store for me an' the old trainer! (and yes, it'll be indoors - severe thunderstorms rolling through the area…

Dropped off again. :neutral: So we'll do it this way to catch up once more: Rides - 573.28 miles (accumulated between 8/23 and 9/13) Previous - 1042.98 miles Total - 1616.26 miles / 2024 miles (3rd) (2nd complete 6/26/24) (1st complete 3/29/24) Link - Well, everything's on my Strava profile.…

Whoops, dropped off the face of the planet! Been riding, though!! Just been very busy and logging drifted out of my brain. D’oh. Overall length of rides is lowering, which is something I'll have to rectify if I'm going to complete a 2024 every quarter, which is my ultimate goal. Fiddlesticks. MASSIVE dump here. Sorry. Ride…

Been doing a lot of riding, but stink at logging. Here we are, caught up once again. Ride 1 - 29.02 miles <- 8/8 Zwift, 1/4 Triathlon Benchmark Test Ride 2 - 12.41 miles <- 8/9 Outdoors, Flooding Check Ride 3 - 10.02 miles <- 8/10 Zwift, Pace Bot Ride 4 - 19.02 miles <- 8/11 Zwift, TDFF pre-race podcast ride Previous -…

@RMUNTZ2 I actually have a dedicated bike! I bought a 1972 Schwinn Super Le Tour 12.2 at a garage sale for $50 and slapped a saddle worth the cost of the bike on it. I still am running the original drive train, just with a different cassette in the back because it's on a direct-drive trainer that won't accept the old cog…

Delinquency in logging rectified. Ride 1 - 13.83 miles <- 8/3, Flight of the Dove, outdoors Ride 2 - 10.02 miles <- 8/4, Zwift robo-pacer Ride 3 - 19.02 miles <- 8/5, Zwift Academy Workout 1 Previous - 675.69 miles Total - 718.56 miles / 2024 miles (3rd) (2nd complete 6/26/24) (1st complete 3/29/24) Link -…

Pft, forgot to log yesterday. Here we go. Both in Zwift. Heat index is well over 100F down here right now thanks to humidity, so cycling indoors is a marvelous luxury.

Best of luck hitting that run goal, @Mari33a !! Zwift ride today. Most of the day was consumed with rowing my boat out to my li'l fishing hole in the nearby creek. Head's still woozy, but getting better. Ride 1 - 10.01 miles Previous - 643.65 miles Total - 653.66 miles / 2024 miles (3rd) (2nd complete 6/26/24) (1st…

Feeling like *kitten* today (kiddo brought some illness home from the ex's place), so did the best I could in our meetup. Ugh.

Great progress, all!! Today was riding for the last of the new 'event-only' route badges in Zwift (because even though it's a riding and training platform, it's a video game and I need all the virtual shiny doodads, thank you very much). Good high-pace group today. Ride 1 - 30.00 miles Previous - 555.32 miles Total -…

You can do it!! Today was another easy ride. Tomorrow I have an event ride that may be a bit challenging, depending on whether or not my knees want to play. We'll see how they feel after today's 5k run. Ride 1 - 11.01 miles Previous - 544.31 miles Total - 555.32 miles / 2024 miles (3rd) (2nd complete 6/26/24) (1st complete…

@ashleycarole86 Welcome back!! Logging yesterday's ride, too. Did a very tough race yesterday, so today was a minimum-daily-10 ride with an easy pace group.
