Bikin’
It occurred to me a day or so ago that I should keep track of how many miles I’ve biked since I started riding a non-trivial amount. It’s been about 20 miles a day (according to the gmap pedometer) on days I ride to work, which I know is not a whole lot, relatively speaking, but it’s a great start for me. Anyhow, I’m at >=146 miles as of today, not counting any riding I did before the first time I rode to work a couple weeks back.
Also curiously and somewhat cool, my pedometer records (to a limited degree of accuracy) time spent on the bike if I keep it in the leg pocket of my shorts. We’ve got this web gadget at work to record the data that the pedometers collect, and doing my daily stint on the bike puts me squarely in the top 15 or so users of the system. Previously (before I lost the pedometer the first time and then found it 2 months later) I was averaging about 6,000 steps a day, and now I’m at like 14 or 15,000 steps. For some reason I’m doing more walking even on days that I don’t bike - I haven’t had a day under 7,000 for a while now. Who knows, I might end up getting into shape yet instead of turning into a blob.
