So this is a bit of a big update....
Last Saturday, I walked 4.87 miles for more volunteering... Then yesterday, I ran 3.05 miles... And today... I biked 10.14 miles! (this was a learning experience for me as I had a few issues with FitBit tracking me on the trip back home). That's 18.06 miles total since Saturday. Now I'm 35.79 miles out of 140.6 miles (25%), and the fun begins! Yay....
Since this post, I decided to let my FitBit keep recording data from my activities. The graphs and activity tickers display weirdly on the app
and the website, and they completely omit what I did on the 15th and 16th. Thankfully, I exported all the hard data from the website..
So, without further ado, I'll begin by listing stuff from after my bikeride on the 12th...
Wednesday, 13 October: Rode
10.68 miles on my bike
Friday, 15 October: I ran
3.1 miles, and I'm proud about this run: I had about a 7'45" mile pace on this even while running more up hills, which was loads better than how I did on Monday.
Saturday, 16 October: I rode my bike
10.29 miles early in the morning. Felt pretty comfortable with riding at this point.
Monday, 18 October: I decided to ride an indoor bike at the gym for
12.41 miles. Sadly the bikes don't connect up to Fitbit, so I had to manually record it. But I did get some reading in which was kinda cool, and I got done earlier too.
Tuesday, 19 October: I rode indoors again for
15.58 miles. This was really an efficient way to get the miles in, but I didn't feel quite so challenged...
Friday, 22 October: ....so because I didn't feel quite so challenged earlier in the week, I decided to ride my bike on Friday evening for
31.71 miles outside. That was brutal. I flopped indoors and almost didn't go volunteer or swimming on Saturday.
Tuesday, 26 October: I had a good few days of recovery after Friday, so I rode indoors for
12 miles.
Wednesday, 27 October: I was almost at the end for the amount of cycling I needed to finish, so I decided to go cycle
10.2 miles outdoors and knock out my 110 mile goal for cycling. I couldn't let it get to my head though, because I had rowing next...
Thursday, 28 October: I went to a gym and rowed for
7 miles (11266 meters). Next time I go rowing for this long, I'll bring gloves. I still have blisters on my hands... But I was finally done with my "triathlon" goals of biking, running, and rowing (substituted for swimming)!
So, after my last post reaching the "milestone" of 35.79 miles, I cranked out 112.97 miles, bringing my total to the month of
148.79 miles (113.01 miles biked, 28.78 miles ran/walked, and 7 miles rowed), a bit more than the 140.6 miles that I set as a goal. Whoo.
