Decided yesterday that I would take off today and tomorrow. I have a ton of use or lose leave so I've been trying to take off every Friday that I am already not off and decided to throw a random Thursday in there. (I work a 4-5-9 schedule - 9 hours M-Th, Friday off or Friday telecommute)
It was a perfect day to be off. I got up early and got my ride on. Went both ways on the W&OD trail and pushed it.
My farthest ride yet! I went 5.20 miles in 48.49 minutes. Absolutely felt terrific.
Even though my bike is very road ready, I don't like the shifting. My shifters are not very easy and they do not shift smoothly at all. I know my bike is old and it is a mountain bike and it will serve its purpose, but I want a new bike. I want a road bike or a hybrid. Any suggestions? No, I can't spend mega bucks on a professional bike, just a nice, average, NEW, bike.
On days when I am not at work, I don't get any balance ball exercising in and I miss that. So I tried to compensate by doing regular crunches, push ups, and planks.
Gotta keep moving!
