I've been averaging 169 miles per week, according to Strava. I'm going to up milage to 200-300 miles perweek as I've hit plateau in weight loss.

Does this count?

630km for the last 2 weeks, 390km this week. Puts me at 1020km with one week to go. Since I'm missing a few classes this week I'm going to try and get the number for the week up to 500km. Not hopeful, but I will try.

I dropped 3kg yesterday from just sweating. No matter how much I drank, nine hours in the heat just leeched it all out. But, by morning it was all back - no biggie as I'm at about where I want to be anyway.
