Most mileage so far

Thursday, July 24, 2014

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!
