good Kickboxing 00:25
Been awhile since I kickboxed... I've been working out in the fresh air all summer. But after a frustrating workday, this felt pretty good.

good Moonrise 2.2 mi 00:24 10:54 pace
Quick run at moonrise to shake off the day. I hate that it's dark by 8 PM now.

Wing Park Concert Ride 6.3 mi
Quick ride to and from Wing Park for the last concert of the season. Jazz at sunset, with an autumn breeze. Perfect.

great Sunset in Pate Philips Park 12.7 mi
After an early dinner with my parents, I took off for a quick ride. I ended up in Pate Philips Park, where I watched the sun set part of the way over the prairie, then hauled back home before dark.... read more

Rainy ride with Beth and Amanda - we had to adjust our plans a bit. We started in St. Charles, rode to the northernmost Batavia windmill, then headed to Graham's in Geneva as the rain picked u... read more

good Valley Creek etc 10.38 mi
I took a quick after-work spin through the adjoining neighborhoods and discovered that Valley Creek really does have a creek. (Though no valley, that I could find.) Added another loop around the bl... read more

good To Algonquin 21.67 mi 02:07 10.2mph pace
Stiff wind from all directions (it seemed), but a very nice ride up the Fox River Trail to the McHenry County line. On the way back, I stopped for water (and the view) at Fox River Shores, and then... read more

Nice Job:
Loved that you stopped at the Measuring Cup! It is such a convenient little place to stop. The lemon bar sounds good! I love sweet & tart desserts.

I've passed the Measuring Cup a hundred times but never been inside. I will be going back! All their desserts are homemade (including a wide selection of cookies and pies), and the coffee was excellent. And it's about 6 miles from home, so nice break.

Thank you! It's so hard to convince myself to workout in the basement when it's nice outside. We need a few rainy evenings, for several reasons!

good Prairie Path & Pate Park 15.46 mi 01:39 9.4mph pace
Longest ride on the new bike, and I rode through some gorgeous rolling hills dotted with wild flowers. It was very hot, and I sighed a bit every time I hit a shady section, especially after my tour... read more

good Sunset intervals 2.5 mi 00:29 11:42 pace
I discovered the "intervals" function on my ancient Garmin! Much easier than trying to watch the timer. Necessary sweat on a long day.

First ride on the new bike, a few loops around the neighborhood, up and down plenty of hills to get the feel of it.
Nice moonrise run, Crysta!
