Cyclinginmd~ You go girl! Keep in mind that you are out there gobbling up the miles! Stretch your time, speed, and distance whenever you can. Good idea to take the break on Tuesday and Thursday and Sunday...I try to reserve Saturday for a long ride. I leave early and do enjoy whatever I can do within a two hour window. After that, I find that I run out of gas and get a sore hiney. (but a month ago, those things were happening at the 1 hour time) Little by little I have gained strength and endurance and speed! Most of all ~ ENJOY!
