(Back) Chapter 2: Keep’N On 61-90 (Next)

---

Quick recap: I’m doing this for myself and not looking to set the world on fire or break any records. As of 10-27-2020, I’m down to 182 lbs from 204. I don’t check my weight that this is not about weight loss; it’s about health. I’ve also upgraded from a used 2004 Giant to a 2020 Felt Bicycle and set a personal goal (as of 10-27-2020) is a least 10 miles a day. During the week, I push the 10 miles and try to do it in the ’30s. (30 to 39 minutes). My best time so far is 37 minutes. I broke my collar bone on 10-14-2020, which is still healing up, so I’m not “pushing” for numbers yet. Riding does not bother my shoulder, just walking. I did manage to get 39 minutes with a broken collar bone the first time back on the bike. Lol.

---

Riding: I use a riding app to log data on every ride, and they are a minimum of 10 miles a day using the same start and endpoint every time. Monday through Friday are workout days, and weekends are relaxing days. If I head out to an event, I stop at a new location going out and coming back home. These are also relaxing trips and do not push the rides. I go and enjoy the ride but always go well beyond my daily 10-mile quota. My current bike is a 2020 Felt Hybrid that I brought brand new after using a 2004 Giant bike to see if I would enjoy doing this. I do enjoy it. A LOT!

Walking data: These are not daily totals; I start and stop the app at the park location. 6,000 steps when using weights / 10,000 without weights. These walks immediately follow my bike rides, so they are usually the 6k steps walk. They usually turn into more like 7.5 k steps because I do not look at the phone again once I activate the app.  I know my local trail and where the 3000 step mark is.

I also got to meet Ann briefly, a beautiful lady I see often on the trail that rides a trike (three) she is pretty damn gorgeous. I think she is taken but wanted to at least meet her. Lol

I would push myself for a bit more when it felt good. I had three consecutive controlled laps well above 17.5mph (28.1kph) and knew I could improve the 16-mile (25 km) mark. I would indeed have a good 16-mile (25 km) mark time with another personal best of 0:57:14. I’m very happy with the routine today.

ALSO … I had no discomfort at all in my left arm, shoulder or collar bone. I can hardly feel the 5lb weight.

DAY 76 11-14-2020 ( Van fleet trail- Florida) I came back out here to make up last Saturday. I went for my 10-mile time but fell a little short. It was a much better run, though. It was a smooth, consistent pace that felt good. About 8 miles in, I decided to push for a 16-mile number, or as much as I can with this damn broken collar bone.

• Bike Ride #1 16-mile (25km) at five miles, I was running well over the 15-minute mark, so I knew a 30 minute 10 mile (25km) was not going to happen. I focused on upping my average speed and went after the 16 miles (25km) mark in under an hour and got it in 0:58.46 seconds! Damn proud of my self because the closest I had got up to this point was 1:02:32!

DAY 75 11-13-2020 ( Local Trail- Florida) I’m getting ready to change my routine up. Starting after this weekend. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I will do a run instead of a bike ride. I will then do a bike ride Tuesday and Thursday. (A standard walk will follow each one.) Every week, I will flip the ride and run the day interval. 3×2 2×3, 3×2 etc….

DAY 73 11-11-2020 ( Local Trail- Florida)

Bi-weekly Run/Jog 2 of 2: Run/Jog Data: Kcal: 535 – Distance: 4.32 miles (6.95 km) – Duration: 50:00 mins. This is my second run ever, so I’m a newbie at this.

I’m not even worried about the times; I’m just getting my body use to this. I could go another mile (km) or two but want to get my body adjusted to the routine first. So my run/jogs stay at a 4 mile (6.43km) minimum for now. It would be crazy humid today, like if you were working out in a sauna. My heart rate jumped a bit (not dangerously), so I used the breathing trick from yesterday and brought it down by 10 BPM without losing my pace. The first 1/2 mile (KM)is the worse, but once I get my pacing, it settles down and goes very well.

Walking Data: (Min 6,000k steps) This is done right after my run and is logged as a separate routine.

DAY 71 11-09-2020 ( Local Trail- Florida) no bike ride and planned to do a walk only but decided to change it up. We have bad weather coming, so I decided to run to see how far I could get before running out of gas. I actually was doing ok and could have pulled another mile but did not want to push my luck.

Avg Pace: 3:35 min/mi/km 3.39 min/mi/km

I ran two 10 mile sessions to try and improve my 10-mile time. I ran one 10 mile session going out and then ran an 8-mile break session to cool off and enjoy the scenery. Then I ran another 10-mile session coming back. With another 2 miles, cool down before transitioning to the daily walk. I can’t really push this as hard as I want to because of my shoulder aka collar bone. I’m not happy with the two sessions because they were really sloppy. I need to rerun them; even though I did get a personal best, it could have been better. I was not very focused at times and did not pace myself like I normally do. I like about doing the 10 miles (16.09km) out here because there are no hills to assist me, so it’s all me and the bike. #feltbicycles

Afternoon Snack to curve munchies. Banana Smoothie 1 whole Banana, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup ice, 2 tsp honey, 1/4 cup plain Yogurt. (Blend until smooth) pour, and you’re done – Quick and easy.

If you have not cut out or cut down sugar from your diet, you may find this a tad bland. If you want a bit more flavor with a nice kick, use one Activia cup instead of the 1/4 cup yogurt. If you use a larger yogurt cup size, be sure to use only 1/2 a cup. Buy the multi-flavor bulk packs, and you can increase your flavor choices.

I dropped the bike off for service to see why it’s shifting so hard/loud and what “scrapping” sound that might be from the wreck.

The new 3 bearings peddle make a world of difference from the stock stuff. I should have upgraded weeks ago and will upgrade the seat next. Just have to do my picky ass research before like I normally do. I’m having my bike looked at again because the shifting is really hard at times. The wreck awhile back may have to throw something out of whack.

During my walks over the weekend, I noticed I could not feel the 2lb weight in my left arm (the side with broken collar bone), so I went back to a 5lb weight. The walk went very well, with minimal cramping and no pain in the collar bone area. I will not exceed 5lb on the left side for a while but the right has to go back up to eight because I can’t feel 5lbs.

DAY 63 10-30- 2020 (Local Path Florida 10 miles Min) Follow up on my collarbone today. It is bizarre the way some of these hospitals do things. Doctor say collarbone will not need surgery. Is still broken but has settled in a good place. It will fuse together over time.

DAY 62 10-29– 2020 (Local Path Florida 15 miles Min) * new goal

* I’m changing up the morning routine a bit because of the upcoming time change. If you look below, you will notice a second bike ride. On Tuesday, I will begin changing my stop point, which will take out the 1st crosswalk, but I will make this run three times. I will do this Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a follow-up tomorrow regarding my collar bone, so not sure if I will get a ride in, so I will start it Tuesday to get a base number for the three-run distance.

** I’m also changing my diet in the mornings; I do not eat before riding because I found out early on my stomach does not like this. I was drinking a protein boost shake about 1/2 hour before my ride began. I will not be doing the drink anymore after doing some research on them. The drink has 240 calories, which is not a big deal, but numerous sites show research that these drinks are not that beneficial for my routine. I will use up the drinks I have remaining on my weekend rides when I go longer distances.

*** I will consume at least 8 oz of water before I ride and about 4 oz during the walk that follows. The breakfast after the morning routine will allow me to drop about 100 calories from my daily intake. I don’t “penny pinch” my calorie numbers but pay attention to anything that generates a large number in one sitting. My goal is to have my routine burn at least 1000 calories per full session. (bike ride & walk) The 10 miles is becoming too easy, so I have to up the mileage to ensure my bike workout is more effective. My walk will remain the same for now because of my collarbone.

DAY 60 10-27- 2020 (Back Home in Florida ) No walking or riding today, a complete rest day, but will be back at it tomorrow. The SDBA October 23rd thru 25th event wore my shoulder out, and the long bike ride on 10-26-2020, my legs deserve a break today.
