I have FINALLY gotten my mileage up to 100 miles a week - this was my first week. Last summer my weekly average was rather higher - but I finished the season with all of those over-use injuries... 100 miles/week for an average is just fine.

Am I the only one who has had trouble this year getting her mileage base up to where she wants it? With this crazy spring I just could NOT get out consistently, and then we went from needing warm bike clothes to 90+ temps in the space of two weeks!

While I am pleased I am up to my weekly goal, I am not pleased with the length of my rides. It has to do with the scar tissue in my quad from last year and when starts talking to me... Patience, I know, patience. This weekend I will see if I can knock it up a notch, though it will be pretty hot Saturday. Will take lots of water, take breaks and listen to my body. I should be able to at least break 40 miles Saturday. If 32 isn't a problem, then 40 should be fine if I stay hydrated.

Regardless it will be fun For some odd reason I LIKE riding in the heat, don't ask me why...
