Thanks to my right knee being problematic I have switched to the in-door bicycles at work’s multiple gyms. The every day goal for earning my virtual September badge is either:
- 30 minutes (non-stop)
- At least 7.5 miles (the distance between work and my house)
- Close the red and green rings on my Watch
…whichever takes the longest amount of time.
In the morning, the rings “win.” In the afternoons (after work), it’s the minutes.
When I was running, the bike was more of an extraneous exercise, something to get a few more minutes in the day. Sometimes, an activity to cool down after the stair master.
Now that it has become my primary I discovered I have biked over a thousand miles in a year, from September 2017 to now. Pretty impressive? I like to think so.
Let’s see how far I get in a calendar year.
