Monthly Mileage Goal:

Of course…

bike

… I wish it were outside riding. But when it’s 31 degrees and there’s snow flurries, probably not the best time.

Still – not bad for the stationary bike at the gym and my first time riding any type of bike since August 2012.

I went with 3 miles in mind – but I really wanted to complete 6 miles.

THIRTY TWO MINUTES of a good hard effort.

Then I added 6 minutes of Arm Bike – because, HELLO BIKE NIGHT!

And topped them both off with 40 Ab crunches on the Exercise ball.

Why this sudden flurry of physical activity? Because when I looked at the COURSE MAP FOR THE PITTSBURGH MARATHON RELAY*, I realized that my short 3.5 mile leg was ALL UP HILL.

Time to work on the core and leg strength. I mean – where in Western PA doesn’t HAVE hills?

* I’m running the Exhange 1 to Exchange 2 or the Second Leg.
