My Journey - Week 10


August 8th - 14th    
We were going to schedule 3 sessions this week, but I kinda screwed that up. It was a misunderstanding of scheduling availability and probably a little blonde moment or two thrown in as well. But, we tried something new – a bike ride. The plan was to work out at the beginning of the week, then ride one day so that the next day we could do a regular workout without me killing myself.  Well it’s that third session that I missed, but, back to the bike ride. I met Wanda at Boltz and after some bike adjustments and a little more air in my tires, we hit the trail and rode to Lyon (Lion?) Park and back. It was a hard ride for me, since I haven’t ridden in at least a year, but I made it through. Guess how far we went… we were gone for 1 hour and 45 minutes, and we road 17 miles! I never would have believed that I could have gone on a 17 mile bike ride if anyone told me ahead of time how far we were going to go.  The only down side to the awesome riding, was that my knees hurt the next day. I need to figure out why that happened and make sure to prevent it on future rides.
