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…

1000 miles

This past weekend I hit the 50% mark of my yearly biking goal! Over 1,000 miles have been logged on the bike.  Now, a lot of that is spin class, but it counts and damn it…it’s not easy to do it every morning at 6am. At this pace, I’ll almost double my yearly goal!! I…

March 2013 Workout Numbers

March 2013: 259.50 miles on the bike – 135,085 pounds lifted Not too much to say about this month.  Overall, I’m happy with my pace and commitment.  I’ve been able to bike outside more since the weather has been nicer.  I was so sick at the beginning of March that it didn’t get off to…

Sunday Morning Bike Adventure

I don’t know if it’s the crappy weather outside, but this morning’s bike ride was quite the adventure! It’s nice and overcast, and there were a few sprinkles along the way.  But nothing too bad…although the wind is getting pretty fierce out there! I’ve mentioned it before, but the area behind my house is some…

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…
