Not Bad... This Could Be a Good Year!
I haven't ridden my bike outside since Sept. 19. We got busy on weekends painting the house, the weather turned crummy, we were traveling... lots of reasons why. And quite honestly I think some time off every now and then is good.
Yesterday was a gorgeous day - sunny and 70s. We decided we would take the bikes out and just mosey on up Diablo to the Junction - 6.5 miles, 2200 feet of climbing. My fastest time ever up this is 48:17. Yesterday, just moseying, not really pushing at all, was 52:18. Not bad. :D I'm pretty thrilled with where my fitness is right now and I'm five weeks out from actually starting my HIM training program.
Now, I have been running a lot (for me) and doing a spin video once a week. And of course I've been working with my trainer and I'm about two pounds lighter. I'm working at getting my body fat even lower. I'm just under 20% now and I'd like to get that down to about 16.5%. I'm hopeful that this could be a really good year for me.
Fingers crossed that I stay injury-free.
