Yesterday I fit in an easy ride, going 13 miles to one of my favorite meditation spots (has a bench, waterfall, lots of birds, trees, etc.) and back.  Afterwards, I returned to the office and uploaded the trip to Garmin Connect.  … Continue reading

As predicted in my last post, the weather around here has taken a turn for the crazy.  Today is the first day I’ve seen a 5-minute interval without rain.  Consequently, I haven’t fit in any workouts since my last HIIT … Continue reading

Yesterday I had my second HIIT workout, and it was just as tough as the first one.  At the end of each high intensity interval, I feel like my lunch is about to make a reappearance.  It is kind of … Continue reading

Not much on the 14th aside from the normal commute and errands, but man did my workout kick my butt today.  I did the normal 20-mile ride, but I think several factors made it more difficult than usual.  First, today … Continue reading

Today I went for another ride on the local Rails-To-Trails.  Initially I had just planned to go around 12-15 miles, followed by some exploring of downtown Hattiesburg (I wanted to see where a new music venue was opening up).  Anywho, … Continue reading

Yesterday’s 20-mile ride on the Rails-To-Trails turned into a 22.5 mile ride, just because I was having so much fun exploring new territory (well, new territory for me … it was actually a paved and well-traveled bicycle path, hah).  I … Continue reading

Yesterday I used the bike to run some errands, which included grocery shopping for a friend’s birthday party.  It’s amazing how much stuff I can manage to fit in one little basket.  12 burgers, 1 package of cajun style sausage, … Continue reading
