I did 14.3 miles in to work this morning and 18.5 miles home (had some errands to run). That brings my total this week to 83.6. I think I pledged 60-80 per week. I feel good! I'll be out of town without my bike next week, however.

Just finished 28.7 miles for a total of 50.8 so far this week! It was 20 degrees warmer this morning than it was this time last week. Early morning rides are the best.

I have a Polar F11 and I love it. I've had it for 3 1/2 years. I had to send it back to the company last year because it stopped working (I was pushing the buttons underwater: a big no no!) and they fixed it and returned it, no charge, within a week or so.

Try Gu. I use them for bike rides and for runs. They are about 100 calories, high in carbs, but they don't have protein. They are a gel so easy to digest during your workout. I eat one when I start to feel hungry or shaky, and wash it down with water.

I love the song idea, and the song. Good luck!
