Started my 3 month/300 mile Bike Challenge today, instead of the "official" start tomorrow. For me the week begins on Sunday :) So my Day 1 ride was 6 miles even. Purchased a wireless odometer for my bike so it will track it to the 1/10 of the mile. Went to Creve Coeur Park and did the smaller of the 2 loop options, basically flat with only slight (and by slight it is very slight) inclines and declines. Kept at a 'leisurely' pace fluctuating between 6-12 miles per hour based on the incline. It was a start! I know as time, weight loss, and cardiovascular stamina build I will be able to increase the distance and speed and still ride the same amount of time. I feel good, it's the mindset....I could've easily said I would start tomorrow knowing full well we are expecting a day of rain and let that day pass and do nothing. Making a conscience good decision feels liberating, I really am in control!!!! :)
