April 2013 Workout Numbers

Overall, April was a great workout month.  Despite two different out-of-town trips, I got a lot of workouts in.  PLUS, a lot of walking in Chicago and Washington, D.C.  So happy that this is now just habit…now I need to kick it up a notch and do more of something different because I’m still not…

January 2013 Workout Numbers

January 2013 is one of my best fitness months in a long time! I just hope I can keep this up for the rest of the year! January 2013: 299.14 miles on the bike – 155,840 pounds lifted.  It was such a great month I even made the board at my YMCA! I’m really happy…

October Workout Numbers

October started off super strong for me in terms of workouts.  But, the month hasn’t ended quite so well as I’ve been sick. These weather changes always make me sick. But overall, a really good month with lots of indoor biking in the last few weeks because of the winds.  It’s been beyond windy here…

Tabata – My new least favorite word in spin class

I love spin class.  There is something about sitting in almost darkness, riding a bike with too much resistance and sweating like never before. I do it at least three times a week…sometimes more.  I come out super gross and nasty.  For me and my asthma, it’s the only thing I feel like I can…

September Workout Numbers

Don’t know about you, but September was a very busy month. For me, I’m pretty sure I spent more nights sleeping in a hotel then my actual bed.  Lots of work-related and family-fun travel this past month. And because of that – not a great workout month – but still pretty good.  October is starting…

Workout Numbers….Killing it in August!

  August 2012: 272.02 miles BOOM!!!  That’s my mileage for August on the bike….I’m on a roll literally…pun intended. Compare that number to my previous months, and I’m killing it!!!  Just need to keep it up! I’m also doing a lot more weights in between rides.  I think it’s helping.  I’m actually feeling a difference…

I rode over 100 miles in July!

I’ve met my goal with some days to spare! Looks like I need to turn up the heat next month! GOAL: 100 Miles Complete: 118.7 miles To Go:  0 I’m proud of myself for getting it done.  I wasn’t sure, spinning helped meet the mileage, and I’ve pushed myself extra hard these last few days…

Biking through the woods

There are woods near my home that I’ve often wanted to explore. But I’m scared. I’ve done off-road trails often up north.  But something about Florida scares me. Things like snakes, gators, bears, rednecks – all leave me with the thought that I will be murdered. But today, I made the first attempt at squashing…
