Week of 4-25-11 through 5-1-11 & April Totals

Well, I can honestly say that purchasing my bike a little less than one month ago has to date been the best form of exercise I could have ever imagined. My injured left knee shows no real sign of strain due to the rides and I've actually lost some weight associated with getting out nearly five times a week, what a concept.

Results from my last weeks worth of rides:

• Monday, 4-25-11 - 8.53 miles in 40:03.

• Wednesday, 4-27-11 - 8.36 miles in 40:14.

• Thursday, 4-28-11 - 9.05 miles in 42:03.

• Friday, 4-29-11 - 9.07 miles in 42:00.

• Saturday, 4-30-11 - 11.03 miles in 49:00.

• Sunday, 5-1-11 - 5.62 miles in 39:00.

For the week, that's 51.66 miles in 4 hours and 20 minutes on the bike plus two hours of 3 on 3 half court basketball last evening.

Totals miles for the month of April (plus yesterday's ride with Ryan on May 1st) equals 170.24!! At 21 times on the bike that averages out to 8.1 miles per ride.

I've got to keep pushing myself to longer rides both mileage and time wise as I go back to my Endocrinologist on June 1st which is four weeks from this coming Wednesday. I'd love to be able to go in there and have an A1C of less than 7% for the first time.

I've got to keep testing my Blood Sugar, eat a balanced healthier diet, and keep myself positive when things don't go the way the "plan" is laid out.

All in all though it's been a great first month with Goose, and I'm hopeful they'll be many more!!
