It's that time of year when the weather isn't conducive for anything outdoors. So while I'm spinning on rollers going nowhere, with headphones blaring in my ears to disrupt the boredom, I share with you random thoughts on this mindless journey.
I did reach my goal of 5,000 miles for 2007. Actually, I rode 5,035 miles. It was nice to get one more ride in before the year ended. When I finished the 27 mile ride, it rained.
It's time to get motivated to lose some weight. Yah, I know. Typical New Year's Eve resolution, but this time I'm sticking to it. The family and I have planned a Disney World vacation at the end of February. I want to lose enough weight to fit back into my shorts for the trip. So far, it's paying off. I've lost over 16 lbs. the last three weeks by cutting out processed sugar and reducing portion sizes. 20 more lbs. to go....
For 2008, I'm off to a great start. I have almost 100 miles in until the artic freeze hit. Usually, I don't get out and start riding until late February. After being subjected to 0 degree temperatures with negative wind chills, 40 degrees doesn't seem so bad.
The FP60s are still rolling great. I've had no problems, since putting them on last July. I'm looking forward to putting more miles on them this year. Stay tuned.
Well it's been just a half hour on the rollers and that's all I can stand. Now that my blood flow is up, I won't be freezing when I go to bed. Stay warm!
