I am finally starting to get my training routine back.  I had it going on most of the winter, until late February.  Now I really have to get myself back in shape.

Saturday - I rode an hour inside this morning and went 16.5 miles.  That doesn't even get me half way though a short day.  I want to get in a couple of 70 mile rides in a weekend, so I will feel like I can do this.  I also got in an afternoon ride of 11 miles.  -- 17.5 for the day!

Sunday - I rode 11.3 miles in the house this morning before church and FINALLY got out on my bike this afternoon.  I rode 7.1 miles in 38 minutes in 30mph winds.

I'm finally on just about done with the "getting ready" for the ride.  Now it's time to get serious about training, on a real, two wheeled bicycle.  This week I've ridden the stationary in the house

Sunday- Finished my Master's project
Monday 16.2 miles inside training
Tuesday 14.3 miles inside training
Wednesday - no riding, dealing with getting new orthotics
Thursday 17.4 miles inside training
Friday 21.5 miles inside training and ordered new pedals with clips!

Yes, I am cold-phobic so it's not been warm enough for me to go outside yet.  I am hoping for Sunday when it's supposed to be 70 degrees.

The big ride.

I signed up to bike the entire Katy Trail this summer -- right now I am working on finishing my Master's degree, finishing teaching this year at school -- and training as much as I can.  I hope to be on the outside bike by Sunday!
