Today I'm a bicyclist
I rode 16 miles. I forced myself out of my door and onto my bike. I had no motivation today. I woke up knowing that I needed to have a good workout today. My stomach has been feeling really upset for the last few days... 2 of my sisters and a hand full of nieces and nephews have had the flu within the past 2 weeks. I've been taking it easy and sleeping alot. I've been waiting for it to develope into something..but it's the same. So I figured that if I was going to have the flu i'd have it by now and if I have it then this is probably the worst that it'll be.
I went out to ride and my stomach did ok until the half way point and then I was just uncomfortable.
I've been increasing my speed and length of ride over the past few months. Today I just couldnt keep my speed up. I tried to keep my adverage mph at 12.

Trip Distance:16.10
Trip Time: 1:20:34
Avg. Speed: 11.99 (it said 12.00--but I walked the bike up the sidewalk...)
Avg. Cadance: 51
est. calories burned: 613

I rode to the Lake, saw some cows, the corn is growing it's about 2 feet tall now--it seemed like that field was just being plowed...
The area that was set up for the college graduation is all gone now. The sky was so beautiful. 1/2 the time the sun was down enough that the sky was light..but I was in shade. It was a nice time to ride. It was windy and my stomach was nauseated but ...other than that it was nice.
