We walked at a good clip for 60 minutes, without stopping in any stores. Believe me, with the wife in tow, that’s a huge accomplishment. :)

I’m loving my new bike. It kinda stinks riding in the middle of winter but I’ve had a few decent rides on it so far. Glad Wife finally gave it the “ok”!

Looks like little Tayster likes it too. :)

“It’s not how long you stay standing, but how often you stand up, how often you challenge your body to respond. What provides the baseline of physiological activity in the body is small to large movement, intermittently all day, every day.”

– Joan Vernikos, former director of life sciences at NASA

Even if you regularly exercise, it’s still a good idea to be active throughout your day, according to this article from ABC News:

I finished 35th/158 among males, 11th/37 in my age group (M 25-29). Overall happy with my times after pretty minimal training. Need to focus on getting faster on the bike. I want to say that it is because I don’t have a great bike that my time wasn’t as good as I wanted, but the fact is, my bike is what it is. I need to train smarter.

Next event is the Turkey Tri on November 5th. Last year I set a new PR at that event by 4 mins. Planning to set a new PR this year.

“Even though they have joint disease, patients need to be reminded that physical activity is actually good for them. People with arthritis should be as physically active as possible, even if they accomplish less than the recommended levels.”

“When it comes to physical activity, there is good evidence that the benefits far outweigh the risks and being inactive is especially detrimental to health.”

– Dorothy Dunlop, Associate Professor of Medicine, Northwestern University

Exercise is great medicine. Start today.

Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have a condition that may affect your ability to safely exercise.

Here’s the profile of the ride too:

I like looking at the elevation change graphs. Fun to look at, not always fun to ride.

Still need to get to the pool. Planning on starting Saturday.
