It was my first time riding the new bike.

It was much harder. My speed was down to 8-9mph for a good 5-10 minutes… I was pushing, but it was tough. I felt every bump in the road (obviously unlike the mountain bike I am used to riding).

I did confirm that all those times I thought I was riding for 6 miles, I was actually riding for 6.5 miles. But that’s not enough of a difference to go back and change all the data. My total time elapsed today was significantly less than the times I have ridden with friends. I’m sure it’s because I was less distracted.

An another note: I revamped my goals and rewards last week. I am going to go in and edit it once more today. I put that my goal this month is to do 2.5hrs of yoga a week. But I am going to take it down to 2. That’s two classes, and if I have to miss one, 1 class and 2 videos. I think that’s a good amount. Plus I plan to pick up the running/biking more regularly now that I can start a good routine.

I’ve got my locker set up at the gym and I finally got a lock for the bike, so I can leave it on my car during the day. Aside from that… I think I may be talking Tommy into doing the sprint tri next spring and he has mentioned that he’d like to start swimming more. Today they started a new schedule for him at work, so he’ll be getting home an hour earlier everyday! I think it’s a perfect time to get in some good swimming workouts.

Things are good… and I am starting to really make this fitness thing a permanent part of my life. I am not waking up dreading a work-out, and that’s REALLY good. Plus! I’m totally sleeping better!
