Hi,
Did a 40 mile bike ride with 6 others. The temp when we started was low 30's but got better. We might have hit 40 when we finished. It was much more comfortable at near 40 degrees. Was a good ride, though. 2 guys asked me today how I'm staying in such good cycling shape for this time of year. I tell them Cardio Coach.
Maeghan, love your pictures! You are doing fabulous and with 2 kids to boot and all that you do. Very admirable. Good that you are doing it while you are young. I didn't start working out until about 3 years ago and am now 48 years old. Mostly I just rode horses before that and kind of watched what I ate.
Maeghan or anyone else: How do you post pictures in your post (instead of on Picture Trail). I'm not having any luck getting into my picture trail as I changed email addesses since I last posted and also can't remember my password. I've emailed them to see if they can help. I'd like to post a picture like Maeghan did of me before P90X, just to lay it on the line.
Dallys, the cold weather gear for riding does cost but is soooo worth it and lasts a long time. Most of what I have is a few years old and gotten lots of use. Today was a balaclava AND ear warmer day. Face gets pretty cold. The booties are a MUST and so are the lobster gloves for me. I like to ride all winter at a lesser intensity and hit it harder in the spring. A lot of people just quit during the winter and then have to make up all that fitness in the spring. Whatever floats their boats, I guess.
Suz, so glad you are back safe and sound. I was getting worried. I hate driving in the ice. I really hate white outs even more. Hard for me to want to go forward when I can't see in front of me. Are you ready to bring it tomorrow? Bet your DH, dogs and birds were happy to see you again. Suz, you keep your house much cooler than ours. We have a woodstove and DH likes to burn that wood up. I'm usually opening doors and windows and he's turning the logs over to make more heat! I tell him to put some clothes on and he tells me to take some off! Minus 4 degrees???? Brrrrrrr.........
Randi, I liked Cardio Fusion and really sweated with that one. Lots of variety. Hope you meet someone nice. Glad you are feeling better.
Anne, I like jalepenos too! Hope your cold stays away. How did the picture taking go?
Char, gingerbread house? How fun. I haven't done one single bit of decorating yet. Probably next weekend and get a tree then too. Need to buy a permit and go out with the rest of the family and cut trees. We usually bring something to keep warm around (peppermint schnapps and hot chocolate,LOL), a smudge pot, some goodies and it's lots of fun. That cracks me up that that man thought you were a little kid without a helmet. Girl, you need to wear a helmet!!! I'm scared to look at tomorrow's workout, but I'll be there. I haven't done the fit test yet.
Hi Diane Sue, hope your rest day was productive, cuz I know you probably weren't resting much. Glad I didn't hear of anyone falling down with all the ice.
Jeanette
Thanks for sharing!
