I rode my trainer today too. 1 hour 10. Thank God for the iPod. I also tried to swim but I recently strained my shoulder so I ended up getting out of the pool early.
We had about a foot of snow today so riding outside was out of the question. But lucky for me, the snow was perfect for snowman construction so my DH and I made a lovely, gender neutral snow person, complete with carrot nose, terra cotta pieces for eyes and fabulous sticks for arms. My DH even donated a hat to the cause. It was fabulous, I haven't made a snow man since I was a teenager.
Aaaaahhh. Life is good.

Rode 63 km in the rain. Rather unpleasant, but once you're wet you're wet. 4 celcius, too. (About ... hum, 37 F?) Eventually my right toes became really cold but that was after over two hours on the bike. My booty got sore, too, I hadn't been in the saddle for so long in a while... I think I totally bonked on the way back but I was too cold and tired to fetch my bars in my coat pocket so with 5 km to go I just rode home...
Why so persistent? I still have 240 km to ride before January the 1st!!! (And that's after counting today's 63.) I'm going to try to get a 50 tomorrow, and then it will have to be crushed in on the 29th, 30th and 31st, because there will be no other time! There better be no other windstorm!!!!
Glad to read everyone else is riding, it's motivating!

Did 34 miles yesterday, and have 73 miles to go for my goal by year end. Gonna try to get 25 in today before I head to DC for Christmas, and hope for decent weather next weekend to complete it.
