Start tomorrow

Okay, I am posting this to help me be accountable.
I will start riding tomorrow morning. I haven't rode in probably a year or more and then it was just sparse riding. I haven't rode seriously in probably 5 or more years. I am thinking I should be able to do 10 to 15 miles tomorrow. We'll see how hot it is in the morning. It's been already in the 80's early in the morning here in TX so hopefully it won't be much more than that.

Anyway, I will post tomorrow and let you girls know how I do. Wish me luck.

Have a great ride and be safe. Remember to listen to your body for it will provide you with a lot of feedback (good and bad). Take your time and most importantly, have a great time.

DDH, just don't set goals that are difficult for you to attain. Keep it fun, and you'll succeed in making it a permanent part of your life.

Have a great time out there tomorrow!

RIghto - GET OUT THERE... if 5 miles is enough, it's still 5 more than staying in.

I'm gonna try & get out early, too, like I didn't Friday (but DID Saturday).

Have fun out there DDH and be sure to post in the daily rides thread whenever you ride :)

Oh, and do you have a free account at www.bikejournal.com yet? I love seeing my mileage add up on there, it's really motivating!

Brandy's suggestion of utilizing BikeJournal is a great one. It has been a huge motivational force for me this season. I'm competitive (don't tell my BF I admit to this) and watching my milage grow, seeing where I stand amongst all the other riders keeps me going. Have fun and let us know how your ride goes.

Hey hey DDH!

You must be about to start you day in a few hours... so get out there girl! Enjoy
Looking forward to your post!

(and I agree... BikeJournal is a fun way to watch your miles - kms for me - add up - and it also keeps you accountable in a way coz you know that other TE gals will be looking at how you are doing and cheering you on in front of their PCs!)

Hi DDH! Set small goals, attainable goals. Use bikejournal.com, it is awesome. The only person I "compete" with is myslef. I try to see if I can go further, faster, less time, etc., from the previous day.

Hi DDH...just look for the threads in the "Open Topic" forum that have that day's date. Here's the link to today's thread...

Sometimes if you're the early bird, you'll have to start one yourself for the day if there isn't already one up there.

:D Donna...I just realized who you are!!!!! Your 8.8 miles on the exercise thread at the other forum stuck out and I put it all together. :p

Brandy, my inspiration!!! LOL, how funny. I just found this site yesterday going through things trying to figure out how to get started on this riding thing again. You are the one that got me started wanting to get back on my bike again. I thought that was you, but didn't want to be pushy, just in case it wasn't.

Now I am accountable on 2 fourms huh? LOL
