Monday - November 1

Bike

30m
7.48 miles
14.96 Mi/hr

Trainer ride. It's chilly out!

So I signed up for not one but TWO challenges!

1. You'll log Christmas Challenge:

- Log all workouts (not a problem since I already do this)

- Log all food every day until Christmas (I'll use Fitday since I find it easier, and I'll post my calories and nutrient balance here every day)

- Lose 10 pounds by Christmas. To give myself extra incentive, I have told my husband that I will not buy any clothes or shoes until I weigh 125...

2. November Crushers Challenge (Pick 4!)- Lose 5 pounds by Thanksgiving

- Ride 10 hours in November

I'll have to decide if I want to add any other goals- finish knitting that scarf?

Leisurely trainer ride- I had a massage last night and was feeling a little sore, so I took it easy.

Trainer ride. Hmm, I still have 22 hours to go if I want to make my goal of 40 hours biking this year. I have two months (and a 10K I'm training for). That means I would have to ride 11 hours each month, or just under 3 hours a week. I'll have to think about this, but I might be able to do it... 40 minutes 5 days a week?

Run

10m 32s /Mi

What a beautiful day- the last 70 degree day we'll see in awhile! Even some sun! The wind was starting to blow in as I finished though, so I'm glad I snuck out of work early .

I was going to go 4, but I started getting twinges so I took an easy three. I need to do some more core work, and definately work on building my base mileage up more.

I was in the ED last night working late, so I was a little tired today too :).
