Good Morning Every Dayers!!! Just checking in.
Pam: Yes! I like to ride outdoors, but sadly last year, I only got out once (if even that). It's tough to get out with work hours (this summer may be different?) And Dh doesn't like me riding alone. (understandable). I was getting the itch to do an organized century, but again - that kinda went away when this pandemic started. It still may happen. So in short the answer? Yes. I do ride outside.
Ih ave a road bike and that's where it all began 18 years ago.
Lili: Now I have to dig out that part of Slim & Lean!
That's why I love the check in. Gives me ideas. So thank you! I really like some of KCM's kickboxing workouts as they are a slightly slower pace and really seem to work for me. I love how you get outside ~ it is one thing I have discovered is SOOOO important. (today is rain though for me.)
Helen: Come out to play please!!!
Ok, on to me me and all me: Upon checking my excel sheet and logging everything for my coach, I discovered 2 things: #1) I've gotten 6 hours of sleep for two nights in a row. Skipped sleeping on the recliner and went straight to bed and feel so much better for it. (Or maybe it's because the workouts have been less?) OR ... #2.) I've gotten outside two days in a row. The sun was out, I had to go get gas, got out in the car and opened the sun roof. Life is good. I feel
MUCH better.
Ok, here it is:
4/6/2020: Denis Morton's
Power Zone ride (45 minutes) Olivia Amato's
10 min. cool down ride + a stretch
4/7/2020: Denis Morton's
Power Zone ride (45 minutes) + Olivia's
30 minute PZ ride +
Sam Yo's 10 minute Cool Down ride** + 2 stretches
** I must like this cool down ride. According to my one app? I've done it 10 times. Yep. I think it's my most done ride EVER.
Of course, it's only 10 minutes.
I'm keeping pace with my challenge. (a smidge ahead of the pack.) I will be done (hopefully) with the week - today. That will give me Thurs.-Sunday to get in some extra rides (head start on the 4th week), different workouts (les mills? treadmill? dvds?) and play around before getting ready for the next week. You all know I feel better with a slight cushion.
Yesterday while riding, I got the spinny, spinny wheel of death and thought
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... I can honestly say that only happened a few times in the almost year I've owned the bike. (Maybe 5?) and I do think it has to do with the amount of traffic on the internet. But it quickly (whew!) resolved.
If I repeat myself, I'm sorry. Too lazy to go back and check and talk to far too many people. Peloton has cancelled all live rides in the studio for the instructors till further notice. I for one? Am so very glad. Keep people safe! And heaven knows there are plenty of rides to do ON DEMAND.
I'll never get through all the ones that look good to me.
Our governor has extended the "shelter in place" order for an additional 30 days (for now). School was cancelled for this school year (and indefinitely - his words, not mine) and he closed all county and state parks and forests. So no trail running, riding, investigating .... I honestly understand it. We went to a historical park on Sun. and I was shocked at the amount of people just standing around chatting and being near one another. I kept saying to dh, "They aren't 6 feet apart". We found a trail that had NO ONE on it so that's where we went. But still. . . .
I went out for gas yesterday. I'm one of those that is getting 4 weeks to the gallon! And the price has dropped dramatically. First time under $2.00 a gallon ($1.97) in a long time. It was at Costco, so it's $.20 to $.30 cheaper than most of the stations around me. I thought about going in to do a toilet paper check, but NO! I don't need it (for now) and by the time I do? I hope it's in stock. I've taken to marking my calendar to see how long it takes to go through rolls. And by the time I get down to worry status - I will start looking. That won't be for awhile and it's slowly coming back into stock at many stores.
Ok, off to get chores done.
Make it a great day!
Wash your hands frequently, social distance & sanitize!
