I’ve been doing more and more biking…really just trying to get used to riding in a bit of traffic and for longer periods of time. Starting next month, I’m really going to make my way around town and try to find some great rides. I’m still loving it and sometimes it’s all I can do to keep from going on a few rides a day. Who knew exercise could be this much fun! 😉
I really encourage you to find something that you enjoy doing for exercise if you haven’t done so already. I think this makes all the difference in the world. It’s not fun to exercise if you have to drag yourself out of the house to do it – not saying that we shouldn’t make ourselves even when we don’t feel like doing it – I do believe this.
I’m starting to think about additional gear that I might need for my bike. I really want to figure out a way that I can comfortably carry groceries and heavier items, but for now the back pack is working fine. (for shorter distances) Most of the rides I’ve been doing have been nearby and I would say that I am averaging 10 miles or so – I try to go for at least 40 minutes which I think is a pretty good cardio workout. It feels like 40 minutes for me on the bike is a much better workout than 40 minutes of walking. (I guess I could also stand to walk a bit faster and push myself more here.
Rock-n-roll!
