Monday

2 mile lap around the neighborhood on my mountain bike burning 115 calories. Oh the joys of springtime.

Tonight I did 50 oblique crunches, 50 crunches, 55 pushups and a 4 mile run in 40 minutes to burn off 575 calories.  Some friendly cat ran up to me and start rubbing itself all over me, so I stopped to pet it and continued my run.  And cars were driving up and down the neighborhood, stopping at random spots in the middle of the damn street and blowing their car horns.  Beats me if they were trying to find the cat that I petted, but I would've thought calling the cat's name would be more effective than blowing your car's horn.

690 total calories burned.

Today I did 7 miles on my mountain bike. Too bad it needs a new rear innertube or else I would've done faster than a 13 mph pace without my legs burning. But it was pretty neat to bike through my neighborhood down to the creek, since I saw three does that frequent the area, grazing.

I took my mom's bike out for 6.5 miles in 27 minutes.

I biked around the neighborhood for 6.5 miles in 30 minute on my mountain bike to burn off 343 calories.

Mountain Biking

I rode my mountain bike around the neighborhood with the new pedals I put on it. I really like them, and it makes pedaling more efficient (and also gives a better workout!). I biked for 40 minutes at about a 12-14MPH pace to burn off 465 calories.

biking at the gym

I biked for 18 minutes today at a 90 rpm/15 MPH pace and took note of how easy it felt and wondered if I'm using the correct cog and chainring on the road bike. Then again, an exercise bike and an actual bicycle are two very different theas.

Easy Rider

I took it easy today and pedaled on the first and second chainrings to campus, around the Ghimgoul castle area, and then back to Carrboro. I wasn't as sore as I thought I'd be (considering how painful it was riding around the Southern Village area yesterday) but I figure it's better to rest a day than keep pushing myself. ~10MPH, 45 minutes, 400 calories burned.

Cycling Part Deux

Today I biked to the house Hope's watching. It took me all of 30 minutes to bike to campus, fill my rear tire up with air at the Student Union, get on the Highway 54 overpass, go into hypoxia attempting to go up the slight mile-long incline that begins at the UNC hospitals and climaxes on Mt. Caramel Church Rd, and arrive at Hope's house. "Wow! You look like a professional cyclist wearing those shades, shirt, helmet and bike shorts! And you ride with such ease!" she said. But of course, I couldn't hear that, because she was laughing too hard at seeing me in bike shorts. I'm estimating my total mileage at about 6-7miles, and my return trip lasted all of 15 minutes which included waiting for the lights and traffic. I'm guesstimating my median speed was about 15 MPH with an average of 12. The trip bothways made me burn off about 500 calories and produce liters of lactic acid.

Cycling

Today I biked to campus wearing a sheer little number by Canari.
When I got there, I avoided the massive potholes and pedestrians and biked downhill to the natatorium and did my best to preserve my body from any sort of harm while my bike frame hurtled down the hill at close to 30MPH, and then did my best to prevent my body from going into hypoxia biking uphill at 4 MPH. Overall, today I cycled 8 miles for 45 minutes at ~14MPH to burn off 500 calories.
