today, I had a smooth ride with no car interference, and took 8 seconds off my record. I did my circuit in 10.23 on the 2.5 mile route. I've also lost over 12 pounds and am down to 192.6 this morning. I'd love to get down to 175. I'm not starving either. My weight in high school was 155, but I have shrunk n height down to about 5'8". Two years of cancer treatment (lupron and 40 radiation treatments) put the weight on me and destroyed much of my strength and stamina. That and my bad right knee have been obstacles. My daily ride and afternoon walk followed by some barbell work are helping. The ride is fun, but the home stretch hills are tough for me.
