Double Digits

Yesterday was my 1st double digit ride on the bike - 20 miles! Yay me!

A friend/co-worker and I hit the trails after work. It was hot. It was humid. It was better than running in this heat! We took it at a fairly easy pace. I felt like I was getting a workout, but honestly, I could have gone faster. I started feeling a tiny bit tired on our 2nd 10-mile loop, but in all, I think I could have kept going. I'm going to get in one more ride later this week (probably just a 10 miler) and try to push myself more on that one.

Overall, I am enjoying the riding! It's still really new and exciting to me and I want to go faster and faster! I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to walk today, but I feel great. A little sore in the hammies, but nothing else. Well, except maybe my hands. I can see why people bike with gloves! I do still have the mountain bike and I am wondering if my friend is going to come through with the road bike. I'm getting more and more tempted to go ahead and just buy my own bike now rather than waiting....hmmm, we'll see.

This morning, I managed to get in 20:51 on the treadmill before the kiddo woke up. I was going for 40 minutes, so maybe I'll squeeze in another 20 minutes after the kiddo is asleep tonight. I still have my Econ test to finish, so who knows.
