May I Toot MY Own Horn?

That's FANTASTIC!! So, on average, how many miles would you put in per ride? I'm, um, a little math challenged.

Thanks!

If I just use my road miles I'm averaging 24.5 miles/ride. If I add in the trainer miles the average is 22.12 miles. Finally, on the trainer I averaged 16.4 miles/ride.

Yes you may toot your own horn, pat yourself on the back and celebrate Your accomplishments this summer say a lot about the person your are. Congratulations.

That is so impressive!!!

I've been strutting around all week since I broke 600 for the month!

I didn't ever respond to your earlier posts about your summer but I read them and found them eerily similar to a rather nasty winter I had a few years back. It was a really rough time but I learned a lot about myself and gained a lot of confidence in the bounce back. I'm so glad to see that you are doing so well.

Rock on, girl.

Wow!! I think you should do a commercial for Tour de France next year!

Do you ride every day? I've been riding 3-4 days/week and would like to ride more, but I'm afraid of overdoing it. Any tips for this newbie?

Oh, and I love your kitty's eyes. Such a sweet face!

Thanks ladies for all the kind words and support. It has been a rough summer but I'm moving forward with my head held high. I'm fully recovered from my surgery and I'm working hard to put exBF behind me as best I can. Some days are better than others but I continue to look for the good and I just know good things await me.

Sundial, I try to ride at least 6 days each week but I will confess sometimes I just keep riding. I listen to my legs for they are not shy and will quickly tell me when I need to give them a day or two of relaxation. I took 4 days off in July and a on a few of those it took everything I had not to pull a bike out and go for a spin.

My goal each month is 500 miles which is not hard for me to reach when the weather is warm/hot but is a bit of challenge when I'm on the trainer.

The kitten in my picture is Penelope. She turned 1 year old back in April and is a devil of a child. She looks very innocent but she is not. I love her to pieces but she has issues.
