      Another 90K last week on the bike. This week is a big goose egg due to vacation, but at least I relaxed in a bit of IH kit!

      Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

        Both in running and my motorcycle I like hi vis.  Sometimes you get something and it's EVEN BRIGHTER than you thought it would be  😃

          I’ve taken the last four days off…rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

          Hope to pick it up again tomorrow.  🙂

                    Ha!  Thanks!  Cycling is by far the easiest means to hit the goal.  Feels like cheating to be honest.

                      well, if you're not as … lazy ... busy ... handicapped ... full of excuses  ... as I am  ::)

                      but here we are again, another 32 km, adds up to 265 km for me now, way behind the schedule  😞  but I don't care, it's fun 😃

                        120km down this week. I'm just shy of one third of the way through the challenge. It definitely feels like cheating to do this on two wheels!

                                      Day 52 and 390,000 meters (390 km's) to go.  I pm'd a friend at the beginning of this crazy challenge and said I would be happy to only make it half way.  Over that mark and now I'm ecstatic to see the end of the tunnel.

                                      Weight has stabilized at 185, but body fat % is dropping  :).  I'll take that!

                                          Better perceived lung capacity, lowered my resting heart rate, better recovery times, and lengthened my workout times.  Currently doing 15-20 km’s /day (previous 10 km’s).  Been mixing in more intervals at higher exertion levels, with rest days being longer row’s at a steady state.

                                          Today I finished a 27 km row and still have energy left.  So far I’m happy with the results, but watching for signs of over exertion and trying to avoid injury.
