Exercise Regime

Even though Rusty and I haven't been biking together in many moons, I still get my regular fill of cycling action. In the convenience of my home. That's right! I own a stationary bike and put it to good use.
My usual routine includes 15 km in approximately 39 to 40 minutes 6 times a week. That's not too shabby, I reckon, and a good start.
Ever since I've decided to to the Ride, my performance has magically improved. I am now able to do the 15 in as little as 36 minutes! It must be the excitement about this event.

I've also started to increase the distance. Wednesday I did 21 km in 52 minutes. It was great. Had the rubbery legs and was sweating bullets.
I also increased my weightlifting routine and am more serious about stretching now, which I've been neglecting a bit in the past. What a difference! No aches and pains anymore. I feel 10 years younger.  
I will keep training at home until I go buy that new bike I need, which will only be after March the 15th, the date of my orientation session. It's only 10 days away, but it seems soooo loooong.
