Today's weather was: NICE! Sunny, some clouds, high in the lower 70's. Please let it stay like this!

I've been really busy training, thus the lack of postage. I've had some amazing rides over the past week or so, two of which include newly broken records (I know...AGAIN!).


August 1, 2008 (Day 118)
We decided to see a movie, and I decided cycling there was a great idea. I had no idea I would break a speed record!

Mileage: 7.0 miles
Time it took me: 22 minutes
Average speed: 19.9 mphA NEW SPEED RECORD!!!!
Maximum speed: 31.5 mph

August 3, 2008 (Day 120)
We did a really fun group ride on Saturday that took us up the first two hills on the Ride for Life. I broke a speed record for this season (not counting the fluke from a few weeks ago) while going down a really, really fun road.

Mileage: 31.5 miles
Time it took me: 1 hour, 57 minutes
Average speed: 16.2 mph
Maximum speed: 42.0 mphA NEW SPEED RECORD!!!!

I am going to try to make more regular updates; my regular training has been keeping me really busy. I am loving it, though; I am in the best shape I've been in since first training season, and I'm stronger than ever as far as cycling goes.
