...ever for January outdoor mileage(240.91)! Only 5 miles better than January 2008, but the weather challenges were greater this year than in 2008. And so it went, a little challenge goal to beat the '08 January total was a success. The mid month break in the weather helped, leaving little excuse for not biking in to work.
other notables: The average temperature at ride time was 1 degree Fahrenheit colder than in '08.23 rides -vs- 24 rides in '08; 28:47:00 ride time -VS- 22:13:30 ride time in 2008(including indoor times);commuter miles YTD: 169.2(+/-)10 round trip work commutes YTD -vs- 6 in 2008;23 consecutive cycling days (includes 7 indoor ride days); ... rolling along!
On the downside:average weight is 240 pounds -vs- 238 in '08; average speed is slower: 10.69mph -vs- 11.90mph;
The bottom line here is I have got to drop the extra weight! At 56, I am too far along the road of life to be packing extra supplies. Yeah I quit smoking a while back but I am mostly over that anxiety by now. Besides, I've got my pack of "Extra Polar Ice" gum with me always and that's supposed to help with that! Right? I am not satisfied with making this modest mileage gain. I have much greater plans for this year and principal to achieving them is weight loss. My sis-in-law told me about the "My-Plate" food diary at the livestrong web site. I've got a week in on my food journal and I can see I am getting too much of everything. Maybe keeping an on-line food journal will help... www.livestrong.com/myplate/
