    My First 1000 miles

    Img_8842

    Well in looking through my workout logs, I just crossed 1000 miles for the season! I know the Tour de France covers some 2300 miles is 21 days, but I am no Lance Armstrong. I find it a bit remarkable looking back over the months and seeing my progress. Not only do I feel stronger physically but I know my heart and mind are all the better for it as well. I don't have any aspirations of racing or anything like that although a Duathlon is surely in my future. I have had some issues with tweeks to the knee but overall I get stronger and faster every week and amazing enough a little lighter as well.

    I didn't set out with any specific goal other than to be active and continue to improve my health each and every day. Cycling to me was a way to extend my excersise activity outside and it has far less impact on my joints than running. I further like the true speed at which one can cover ground versus running or mountain biking. I started using a Lemond Spinner at the gym which has a weighted wheel. This stationary bike could be adjusted to fit and always provided a high sweat factor for the effort. Cycling was just an outdoor extension of that workout but is so much more enjoyable.

    I can't reccomend cycling enough as a means of exercise and fun....
