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:
  • Dist/Day 5.30 miles
  • Ride time 32 minutes 18 seconds
  • Avg Speed 9.95 mph
  • Max Speed 33.6 mph

Today I repeated the course, this time making two loops at IBM.
  • Dist/Day 6.17 miles
  • Ride time 33 minutes 38 seconds
  • Avg Speed 11.10 mph
  • Max Speed 35.8 mph

So I've made my points for this week. One down, nine to go.
