Bike stats! In the last week, I rode 224.38 miles. I lost 3.8 pounds – I gained weight last time, and I did want to reverse THAT trend, thus the two hundred miles of riding in a week. I didn’t lift but. . . 224.38 miles on my bike in seven days! Forgive me that “lapse!”
In the coming week, I won’t get much riding done. I messed up the XStream a bit – the problem with fiddling with things is somethings you get in over your head. The bike isn’t damaged, but if I ride it in its current state it could become damaged, and since I’m going to be leaving Thursday for InConJunction. . . well, it won’t get fixed until next week. My workout next week will be light.
I crossed a couple of thresholds this workout period. Since starting this experiment eight weeks ago, I’ve ridden over a thousand miles and burned over one hundred thousand calories on those rides. Which means I’m riding an average of 132 miles a week! I think that’s pretty cool, even if. . .
The best news is that when taking my blood pressure and pulse, my BP was 106/72 and my resting pulse was 62. Not only am I losing weight, my cardio fitness is great! It’s weird to me that I don’t have the body of an athlete (albeit a weekend warrior), but the abilities of one.
Well, I’m getting back to a Monday schedule for this!
When discussing Dracula vs. Cthulhu, people seem surprised when I say it’s science-fiction and then talk about spaceships and time travel. So I’ll say it, again! Dracula vs. Cthulhu is science-fiction horror! So, yeah, don’t be too surprised if it has spaceships and time travel.
