lsu2868 708 Posted September 20, 2013 WHEW! I did it...broke the 10 miles mark today for the first time and I am whipped! I did a 2.56 mile ride this morning, walked 3.41 miles today as well and I just finished a 20 minute 5.4 mile ride on the recumbent bike. That put me at 11.37 miles for today and a grand total of 80.5 miles. I have to admit, I am amazed at myself and where I have come from to now. This challenge is awesome and exactly what I need! Thank you BTB and everyone else for the motivation! 8 RoxFC, Butterthebean, smm and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
