May 8, 2013
My alarm went off at 5:55am. Just digest that for a little bit. Not only did it go off at 5:55, I got out of bed at 6:00am...voluntarily...so I could go outside, in the chilly air...and ride my bike. I am going to regret this later in the day!!I dressed quietly in my bike shorts, long pants, bike shirt and bike jacket, and I did all the other little things you need to do to go for a bike ride. I even remembered my heart rate monitor this time. It was a bit chilly, but after 5 minutes, I was nice and warm. After 30 minutes I was hot and wishing I had less clothes on. That's the way it goes.
We went a little longer today since we started early. That is the main benefit of going out early. I'd say we started about 6:25 and we rode for about 1:20, so I was back before 8:00. I had time to shower and eat before I had to start working.
All the complaining is just for show, really. Sure, I hate getting up that early, but I always feel great when I am done and I am glad that I got my lazy ass out of bed and did the ride. I burned a days worth of calories before I even started my day. You can't beat that!!
Here are my bike numbers:
Time: 1:19:23
Distance: 25.09 miles
Pace: 18.96mph
Max Pace: 29.27mph
Calories: 1,662
Avg HR: 127
For the most part, we rode at 20 - 22mph. At the turn around, we rode though a nice neighborhood and rested a bit, then we picked it up again on the way back. All in all, it was a good ride.
So, I worked all day...work...work...work..and I worked a little late too, then Honey and I strapped on the shoes and went for a run. We started off sllllloooooowwww. Honey was not feeling good and I was just plain tired. As always, though, we picked it up once we got loose and Honey put in a respectable pace.
Here are our numbers:
Time: 20:00
Distance: 1.62 miles
Pace: 12:21/m
Max Pace: 10:26/m
Calories: 189
Avg HR: 108
