April 2010 Is Done, Great News On The Weight & A Dr Asking ME Advice !
Monday morning was a little chilly but I managed 18 miles before work, this evening ride was a breeze and I finished on 26.7 Miles, Day 1, Matathon 1 done, Later that evening I poped out to pick up my Surosa and rode it home approx 2 miles, so by the end I had almost done 30 miles in one day !!
Tuesday:
Left a little later than normal, wanted to put the Surosa though its paces but as I wasnt too sure how good it was didnt want to pu**** only for something to happen miles away from where I needed to be, needless to say the Surosa was AMAZING and I ended the day on 24 Miles.
Wednesday:
I went looking for a new, longer route to work that took on semi decent roads, apptempt 1 went pretty well and although I didnt get any extra miles in I did learn quite a lot, finishing on just under 25 miles it was another good day.
Thursday:
Had a meeting before work meaning I left late, put in 10 miles before work and finished on a disappointing 18 miles but my legs and the latic acid they were swimming in thanked me.
Thursday evening I had an appt at my GP’s while I was waiting for the Doc, another Doc who I have seen a few times while on my weight loss journey came out of his room and to say he was stunned would be an understatment, we chatted about how I have done, how far I ride and then he asked me what bike he should get to lose a few excess lbs, a Doctor asking ME for advice ??? That gave me a rarther large smile
Friday:
The work day that never was, due to an air of confusion I eneded up cycling 27 miles non stop, my average speed was a little under 15mph, the traffic and weather was a nightmare so was bloody chuffed by the end of it, even if my feet were freezing
Miles 120.21 mi
Ave Speed 14.2 mph
Ave Cadence xx rpm **
Calories 8,869 C ***
Max Speed 34.3 mph
Max Average Heart Rate 155 bpm
** Cadence sensor broke, thats 2 now that died with nothing but normal riding, GARMIN GSC 10 = JUNK !
*** I have programmed a new calculation into my Edge and it seems MUCH better for calories now.
After Fridays ride I weighed myself, I am now at the weight I PREYED that I could get to when I was being approved for the operation I never had…….
Finally, below please review April’s stats:
Miles 497.21 mi
Ave Speed 13.9 mph
Ave Cadence xx rpm
Calories 46,731 C ***
