Back on the Saddle Again
Yep, it's that time of year again; the time when I can no longer procrastinate about earning my IBM Physical Activity Rebate. The deal, again, is that to earn $150 I must do at least 20 minutes of exercise three days each week for ten out of twelve consecutive weeks.
I'm actually starting a couple weeks earlier than last year, I think, because last year it got too cold and unpleasant before I reached the tenth week.
Last Sunday we had a big family cycling outing, riding from Mt. Vernon up to Roosevelt Island, a trip of around 18 miles. That took about a hundred minutes: Beth is keeping a much more consistent and useful pace than in years past.
On Wednesday I rode my Schwinn from home to the local IBM office and back, making a loop around the parking lot at IBM. Here are my stats:
Today I repeated the course, this time making two loops at IBM.
So I've made my points for this week. One down, nine to go.
