Trial 1

Week 1, and we have our first trial for me. I've been exhausted since Monday evening. Maybe it was the total 13 miles I did between walking and biking. Maybe it was the 5:45 a.m. wake up call or even Tuesday's 5:30 alarm. But I've been exhausted. So I was already thinking about being bad and texting my buddy that I wasn't going to make it. But yay!! I didn't. Instead our mini-beast, Sandy, wakes us at 5ish whimpering and at 5:30 boom I hear the thunder and we understood the whimpering. Few seconds later, I get the text that says that the rain was going to cancel our walk. And it did. though really we could have walked afterwards. It only rained in my area for 15/30 minutes, I don't know about the ASH area.
So that minor trial completed -- not my fault. Then came I still have to exercise and I'm exhausted still. But I passed it! I got on that stupid bike for 10 miles and did it a little over 30 mins.
BTW, I've made that my goal. I want to do 10 miles in 30 minutes before I increase the resistance -- possible? Eh, I don't know. If it take another week, then I'll go ahead a bump it up to the next resistance but keeping the 10 miles. there are 10 settings so that should take a while and we'll see what happens.
