The Road to 50
Saddled Up
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007After not biking for another two weeks, I finally got myself back out on the road this evening for a ride. My stats: 3.1 miles at an average speed of 8 mph, top speed 12.3 mph, and a total ride time of 23:17. This was a tough one and I didn’t think I’d get as […]
By the Numbers
Sunday, September 2nd, 2007As of yesterday, I’m once again trying the “no flour, no sugar” eating plan - and I’ve now started tracking my caloric intake again. I’ve decided to set a goal of no more than 1500 calories per day since dieticians have had me on both 1200 and 1800 calories; I decided to set a […]
A Whole Lot of Nothing
Sunday, August 19th, 2007Lately, I haven’t done much biking or blogging. I’m back in another one of those cycles when I just don’t seem to have energy for much of anything. This time is particularly frustrating because July was such a good month, exercise-wise, and then I had some issues and couldn’t bike for awhile. I also didn’t […]
Something New
Sunday, August 12th, 2007For this morning’s bike ride, I headed south along the base of C-Hill - and I actually biked up a couple obviously hilly streets instead of my usual slight inclines. This was tough, but I managed to get to the top without having to stop and/or turn around and go back the way I came. […]
On the Road Again
Saturday, August 11th, 2007After just over two weeks, I finally got out on my bike again and did a very nice 3.1 mile ride this morning. The stats: average speed 7.4mph, 16.1mph top speed (down Washington - and pedaling!), over a total ride time of 24:43. The ride up King Street was almost as tough as […]
A Nice Stretch of the Legs
Sunday, August 5th, 2007Today’s chosen form of exercise was a nice walk to a local grocery store - a total of 2.47 miles round trip. The cooler temperatures and wind made the walk a very pleasant one and I found myself feeling much better than I have in days. I think future “breaks” from exercising should be no […]
My Excellent Adventure
Saturday, July 28th, 2007One of the nice things about living along the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada is that we have all kinds of fun trails to meander along. This morning, I thought I’d take a stroll along one of those nice trails, but I ended up going a little further than I originally planned.
Our neighborhood […]
Not Too Long
Thursday, July 26th, 2007After work, hubby and I headed out for a ride; mine a quick one and his much longer (he’s still out as we speak). The temperatures are pretty warm right now and I didn’t have a lot of energy so I only managed 1.8 miles at an average speed of 7.8 mph, max speed […]
This Month
Thursday, July 26th, 2007The 3.3 mile ride that hubby and I took this morning brought my total mileage for this month up to 80.10. My morning stats: 3.3 miles at an average of 7.8 mph (max speed 12.6) with a total ride time of 24:55. Since I left work yesterday, I’ve ridden nearly nine miles and I’m feeling […]
Now
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007The photo of me below was taken last weekend on my hubby’s cell phone camera as we stood on a pier in San Francisco Bay. At the moment, I’m hovering around 200 pounds, I’m on medication for high blood pressure, and I’ve just found out that my “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides are too high (though […]
