There has been a lot of rain here for the last couple weeks and in addition it has been cold (dropped down to 30* some days!) so haven’t gotten a chance to ride since my last post on the subject. Today was different – 75*, sunny, nice breeze – just an overall great day!
The Other and I decided to go for a ride with Brent. After the last long ride I was sore but in weird ways. My muscles weren’t bad but my hips hurt and my achilles’ tendon was sore. This isn’t unexpected (I suspect I have overly-flexible joints) but it did catch me a bit off-guard. Regardless, the only way to get in shape is to keep doing it so off I went on our ride!
Ride was great although by the end I was tuckered out! On the way home though I had to swerve suddenly to avoid a baby turtle! Luckily I missed it but I stopped and move it off the path and down closer to the water. It was so cute!
I also started using a new program “Map My Ride” instead of S-Health. I think S-Health is very good, and for an app included with your phone its pretty full featured but there wasn’t an easy way to get the data off your phone. Map My Ride syncs with your online account so you can review your progress and track goals. The Other and I have set a goal to do a 100 mile bike ride this year so its very important to make sure we keep improving 🙂
If we do complete our 100 mile ride, I think I will get myself this helmet as a reward:
