The Results Are In (Sort Of)

Over the weekend I wanted to investigate which activities would be good for endurance training.  That is, spending solid time in zones 1 and 2.  I did a moderate hike with poles on Saturday and a 40-mile road bike ride for a friend's birthday on Sunday (complete with pulled pork sandwich mid-way through...yeah!!).

The hike put me squarely where I wanted to be.  See?

The road bike ride?  I can't tell you because as I was scurrying out of the house after tracking down my bike shoes, realizing the floor pump had gone on vacation with my husband, and making John's birthday card, I forgot to grab the monitor.  Ooops.  

I did manage to grab some numbers today while mountain biking on the trails right by our house.   The average was 132 BPM.  It was a gorgeous morning -- and it definitely feels like fall.  40F when I left the house.  Brrrr.
