Last week the weather here in Newberg Oregon was pretty wet… Ok, not unusual for Oregon, but when it is rainy, I don’t ride.
Time off the trike is well needed however, and now I’m prepariing for the Seattle to Portland Bicycle classic – 200+ mile ride, one day.
I’ve gained quite a bit of weight from last year, rode the Wasco at 205 lbs, my heaviest, will need to shed at least 10 lbs before July. I’ve decided to incorperate running into my training program as running has always burned the weight off faster for me. No extreme running here, just a mile or two every day. There is a track across the street from where I live, so no excuses (plus, my sweetie walks while I run the track – a win-win!)
My polar is in the shop getting its two year overhaul, so the next week or two, I’ll be riding “solo”. The ride today was weird not having my heart rate, speed, cadence and such at a glance.
I ran about 1.5 miles this morning and went for a 40 mile ride – I’m feeling pretty good!
