I've been thinking about what I would do during my week off from studying and thought that I would bike into work a few times. So Wednesday night I mentally prepared myself for the commute (not very far, but this sort of thing requires a heads-up) and woke up to this...
I'm not above riding my bike in poor weather (growing up in the Midwest I had a paper route and road my bike all but two days that year through rain, snow, etc - but I digress), but I would hate to put drivers through the trouble of trying not to hit me on already hard to drive on roads.
Defeated, I didn't even try on Friday. That means no workouts all week. Yesterday I changed that. I biked into work (7.7 miles). Then after a few hours at my desk I ran 8.1 miles with a co-worker, his dad, and a friend of his. I polished off the day with a 25.8 mile ride home. I'm pretty sore today, but ready for this week's workouts.
Turns out this is the end of the month. Totals for this month:
Swim: 1.52 miles - 4 workouts
Bike: 113.57 miles - 10 workouts
Run: 30.07 miles - 7 workouts
Total: 145.16 miles - 21 workouts
That was the most miles I've covered in a month. Ever. The disheartening part is that I have to cover more distance than that in one day in July. I've got work to do, but things are going well.
Wow! We're impressed! And glad you didn't bike on the snow day. :-) Your midwest paper route days were VERY early when very few cars were on the road. And see... it built great character. Love, Mom
