Yesterday was Day One back on the bike (mounted on the trainer - so glad we have it!) 6.5 miles in 25 minutes. It didn't feel like a lot, but I've got to remember that starting slow and building up is going to give me the best results in the end. And it felt good to be back in the saddle!
I looked at a lot of Century training plans with 8, 10, 12 and 16 weeks worth of training before I settled on what I'm doing. Since I'm starting at 14 weeks, I took the first two weeks from this 16 week Beginner's Plan and tacked them at the beginning of this 12 week plan.
I had my belly dance classes tonight (and got nice and sweaty there...) so I had a day off of riding, but I'll be back at it tomorrow. I'm looking forward to to getting past the pain-in-the-bike-butt phase to where I can really enjoy riding again!
This is a bike rack in front of the Oregon Humane Society... I might have to take a field trip out there some time to see it in person... :D
Yay you! I'm so glad you're back! I love a good training plan, don't you? it's like a road map that keeps you going without getting lost! **HUGS**
