20 mi. When my average speed is only 20.1, I can blame the wind, say I'm tired from the weekend and stress on the system, but really, it does me good to tick off more miles riding than just what I can do on the weekend. I see a mag trainer coming in my future... … Continue reading At least I woke up

20mi. I did the timed Singer Island course today, slower than I should have. 20.7 avg speed, in great conditions, a mild breeze from the North and cool 73 temps.
20 mi My gold star Tuesday came about because I didn't want to wake up early again Wednesday morning. I came back from work and decided to do the Singer Island loop. I averaged 20.4, not bad considering traffic and completely stopping at some lights, which hardly ever happens on a 5am start. I brought … Continue reading TT to round it out
20 mi. I did the circle around Singer Island at a below normal pace avg of 19.2 mph. I had a headwind of 10 mph for the first eastward heading 4 miles, I didn't try to push too hard against that. I was one gear easier than usual to employ spinning mentality. Even riding south … Continue reading Better than sleeping
20mi. Since we had Monday off, Tuesday was a day to just sleep til normal waking up time. Wednesday I rode the Singer Island route, putting in an average speed of 20.9 mph. I didn't think I was going to go fast, just get a ride in. I have the physical therapy doctor appt on … Continue reading Tues ride = Wed ride on short holiday week
20mi. I spun through my Singer Island early route this morning instead of running. It was windy form the NE, so the trip up Singer Island was against the wind. My average speed was 19.1 for the route, my hurt leg felt some of the effects of riding so I never pushed that hard. It … Continue reading Off the mark a bit
6 mi. Even though I ran my slowest possible Blue Heron Bridge laps ever today, it was good that I covered all the miles and had no ill effects from the recovering left leg. I got there and did not do the warmup mile or the cool down mile. I'd say without an accurate count … Continue reading It counts.
20 mi. When I see a forecast, I'm not really looking for the temperature as much as the wind speed and direction. 10mph S SE means most of my ride around Singer Island will be exposed to the wind. It is seldom still. The aero wheels feel the side gusts, and obviously the head on … Continue reading Seldom still.
10mi. I was supposed to meet Chiara and run from her house to Publix PGA and back. When I drove there, I found a txt message saying she felt her leg was hurt, but I figured she'd still be there. Not today, I parked off the side lawn of her house and slowly chugged through … Continue reading Dark the whole time
