Woohoo!!! 9.5 miles baby

Yep - you read that right! I did a 9.5 mile endurance ride at the gym. And God...I HATE riding at the gym...but I made myself do it. You might wonder why I call it an endurance ride. Well...I did it as if I were riding a single speed (SS) bike. SS bikes have one gear...no matter whether you are going downhill, uphill or on a flat. This particular ride was a long, consistent climb starting about 1/4 of the way in. Before that, there were flats and a couple steeps.

After I was done, I picked J (my 4 year old) up from the child care center at the gym and we went and hung at a playground for a while. It was so nice to be outside and watch my kid have a good time.

Tomorrow, God willing, I ride at Harris with Maggie. I think I already said we are going to do beginner and intermediate trails...and if I have steam, I'll do a bit of the advanced if she wants to.

I have a goal, I want to lose 3 pounds by next week sometime. I've lost about 9 pounds so far and a good number of inches...but I definitely want to lose more.
