July 12 - Riding instead of running

I was able to roll out of bed and follow thru on my plan to ride the exercise bike at the Y this morning. We have been members there for a year, and this was the first trip ever to work out - previous trips have only been to use the pool with the girls or to play tennis.

I rode for 40 minutes and covered 8.25 miles. My plan to pay myself per mile should really rack up if I can keep up the cycling one day a week. My legs were a little wobbly (sp?) when I was done, but it was a good workout. I think riding the bike is much more my speed. Once I have checked this marathon on the list, I think I will train for a Century ride next.

Please continue to pray for the Weathers family. Not much has changed and they will face tough decisions over the coming hours and days.

Cumulative miles since the start of training: 20.05 miles
