5 miles

Sunday I got a wild hair and convinced my family to head out, it took longer to GET READY than it took to ride. we were out for 40 miles and went 5 miles. I was second guessing myself after 1.4 miles. I am out of practice. I should just do it more often, but I am just tired more lately.

I can't wait to get back on my bicycle. It devastated me when I couldn't do 10 miles when I had already built up to 20 miles. I think it was then that I decided that I was going to have the surgery to change my life. My husband and I keep our bikes in our spare bedroom for motivation. I have tried to use the bike on the trainer but with this weight, it's too much. I long for the outdoors on the bike so I think whatever we can do and no matter how far we go, the point is that we are going. Congratulations on 5 miles and at least you know that it is only up from here.

I almost got a trainer, but we went ahead and got a stationary for at home. I should use it more to build up my endurance. moving to loose each day!

My cycling mentor is -pissed- if I'm late. Congrats on getting out there!

wow, really? that would be a bummer in my book. I am notoriously slow getting out the door. between waterbottles for myself (two) and my two kids (1 each) and packing a 'snack' and finding helmets (supposed to be hanging from the handlebar) it takes an hour to 'get ready'
