goodHey Soul Sister Bike Ride 15.62 mi / 01:37 9.6mph pace

Today's bike ride is brought to you by blue skies, the sun shining and Michelle needing to get her ride on. I have decided to give my hammy a rest this week, so riding my bike outside seemed cool. I rode up Ocean Parkway, did 1 loop in Prospect Park and then rode back home. Man, my riding mojo is missing a bit. I loved the ride, but I am pathetically slow on the bike. Then in the park during the uphill part, I felt as if I was hardly moving at all. I have a duathlon the end of March, so I need to ride more.

15.62 miles in 1.37.16 9.64 mph. I did not stop my garmin at any of the 3 million red lights I had to stop at. BLERGH.

I call this Hey Soul Sister Bike Ride because today is a friend of mine's birthday. She has the same leukemia as my mom, so each birthday is great!!! I wrote this on her facebook:
Happy Birthday Karen my friend. A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip.

Foam roller in da house.

Steel cut oatmeal is mighty tasty after a bike ride.

    Excellent ride Michelle. Cycling works out different muscles than running... Keep it up, give it all you've got like you do with running, and you'll see improvements in no time! Happy Birthday to your friend :)
