Well, my scales tell me that I am again taking up more space in the world than I desire to, so I hauled my carcass back on the bike today. Unfortunately I should have filled up the tires before I went out, so it was a bit of a hard slog, but I did burn a little over 600 calories and went a little over 8 miles. It was a beautiful day here, not a cloud and in the mid-sixties, and it felt good to get my body exercising again. I do confess to being a little more tired than usual now, though.
Having a heart rate monitor is really nice—or rather, indispensable—for my workouts. It lets me know exactly what I’ve accomplished, and there’s no substitute for that.
Now the only question is how long it will be until I can get back on the bike again? One day, two days, or an entire month? Wish me luck.
Posted by elizabeth at January 4, 2003 09:37 PMWay to go! Good luck in getting back into an exercise regime. If you're interested, I can send you information on the Cowtown 10K. Stepan and I are going to walk it with Mom in late February. If you did join us, it would be even more fun than exercise usually is since we all have heart rate monitors and can spend the 6 mile course comparing our calorie burn!
