Too much?

A friend of mine Darren (not one to withhold an opinion) recently told me that I was blogging too much about my exercise and not enough about the kids! While that is probably true for the family readers I like to "put it in print" - to write down my accomplishments so that I can go back and look at them sometime in the future to see how far I have either progressed or fallen.

So I'll take the ding and try to do some more family blogs but that said I did ride a bike 10 miles and run a 5k this morning in less than an hour!

I must say I felt pretty good about that!

Still at it

It has been a few weeks since my last post, a longer gap than I like. During the last couple of weeks we have had visitors but I have been able to keep up with the exercise routine. One funny thing is that in the same two week period I had one person give me a hard time about my running pace (9-10m miles generally) and one person express concern that I don't over do it (see previous post). So if this were an election I guess I would be about right!

It's not though and yesterday we went and pushed it even harder with our routine. We rode bikes for 7 miles, stopped, ran for 32 minutes, then got back on the bikes and rode for another 8 miles.

So I figure my total workout was a 15 mile ride and 3-3.5 miles of running all before 7:30am. Not a bad way to start a Saturday!
