Okay, today's blog isn't fitness, but it relates to cycling. Wednesday was first snow -- all quarter inch of it. And of course the temperature dropped. So by morning it was into the teens. Thus I got out all my wraps. Double layered legs and jackets, ear muffs, balaclava, hood, helmet, gloves. I also tried … Continue reading Cold Weather Biking

Fitness Update: Fitbit Flex 2
Well, last week I ran two 5Ks on the street, and then 1.25 miles on the treadmill. I got myself up to a 7:30 minute miles, or a speed of 7.5 miles per hour. Now if I can just figure out how to translate that pace in my mind onto the street, to do a … Continue reading Fitness Update: Fitbit Flex 2
Fitness Update: Fitbit Foray
Well, My fitness goals are moving along this past week. I'm closer to my cycling goal -- not as far ahead -- than I was in other months. That means I have to put in more effort through December. Weather is likely to impede certain days, so I'll need to take advantage of every day … Continue reading Fitness Update: Fitbit Foray
Fitness Update: weather-related allergies/illness
I started off last week with the best of intents. Ran a 5K on Monday with the intent to get at least one more in. Then a weather swing hit the sinuses. Eyes felt funny/sleepy from all the pressure behind them; ears like they need to pop all the time. Sleep went, coughing ensued. Took … Continue reading Fitness Update: weather-related allergies/illness
Fitness Update: Arrival of Fall
I got two 5K runs in last week, but no swims. Forty-Six miles on the bicycle. The weather got cooler this weekend. Two morning with frost. That actually helps running, but requires a wardrobe change for cycling. Figuring out how the heat generation and heat loss offset each other gets interesting. I'm testing out the … Continue reading Fitness Update: Arrival of Fall
Fitness Update: Almost ran
Well, This week I almost got a run in. Woke up Saturday morning intending to do a run, then realized I needed to exercise the dog with the bicycle, and didn't have the gumption to do both. I did manage to hit 2600 miles on the bicycle. So I am only 400 miles away from … Continue reading Fitness Update: Almost ran
Fitness Update: Timing
This week's fitness post is going to be a short one, directing you away from the fact that I spent another week without swimming or running, cycling only. Instead, let's discuss the best time of day to run or swim. I thought it would be pcist thing in the morning, but now I am finding … Continue reading Fitness Update: Timing
Fitness Update: Technology Troubles
Well, this week I'll give a short stats update, and then on to an indirectly related topic. Got in one 5K run and a 1000 yard swim. So not doing much progress there, but at least doing something. I did hit 2,500 miles on Saturday -- so the October goal was completed a week in … Continue reading Fitness Update: Technology Troubles
Fitness Update: Minutes tracking
Another week where the fitness activities are there, but not in an organized progression of the various activities. Cycling got in there, there were a couple of days with very little activity, and then others with many units of activity. Much of the activity was short walking segments. It is interesting, when translating those into … Continue reading Fitness Update: Minutes tracking
