Hey everybody!! I'm sorry about the lack of updates lately, there wasn't much new to report anyway. Mostly, I just ran out of time at the end of the day. Not that this blog isn't important to me, but I do need to sleep some times. I'm off today so I have some time.
I also have time because I did a shorter ride than I had planned, because of a forecast of rain that still hasn't happened yet... I hear it's raining in Manhattan now, so it should be here any minute. But I could have stayed out there another hour or so.
Anyway, after checking the forecast this morning I made the decision to go for speed instead of distance, so I cycled to White Plains and back for a total of 25 miles. The biggest surprise of the whole ride was my new personal best average speed of 17.17mph... 1st time ever that I've been over 17 mph for a whole ride, not only that but I believe this was the biggest jump for a new personal best.
There's probably a few reasons for the new PB... I had 3 days off the bike, I did do an easy ride yesterday, but I didn't go overboard, so my legs were well rested... another reason that I rode so well, is that I fueled up for hours beforehand... lots of carbs... and now that I think about it, I had whole wheat pasta yesterday, potatoes & broccoli last night and a bowl of oatmeal with a banana a half hour before my ride. So carbs, carbs, carbs... keeps the motor running. I didn't eat all carbs, I did have some protein with the meals, but carbs made up the bulk of the calories.
I've been keeping up with my push-ups and pull-ups and I've also done my German Lessons faithfully... So now you're all caught up... I'm off to play some games as my reward... have a great day all.
I'll write again soon,
