Announcement Post – Day 1 – Previous Post – Next Post
I googled superheroes and bicycles and found this. For sponsorship, try Squamish, famous for mountain biking. |
Let’s talk about cheating. Last night I went to The Billy with Catherine to have a quiet moment (well, apart from the live country music) and discuss some items related to her work for which we needed a child-free hour. I had a beer.
Then we went home where I tasted some ice cream that Cath got for Tim and a play date friend from Rain or Shine. But here’s the real story. I did the Mary Homework at lunch time and then rode the 9 km home from work. As I was heading around Science World (see my route map below) I realized that I had a lot of energy left. |
On Wednesday when I first started cycling my legs were on fire and I assumed that they’d be unhappy.
It wasn’t that I was fooling myself. After I got home, I went and shopped at Costco to buy the metric tonne of meat for the next couple of weeks and then I came home and did three loads of laundry. And I still had some gas in my tank. You can tell by the step counter (15,234) that I was on my feet a lot. (Normal days with cycling are 8,000 – 12,000).
Honestly the only variation I can truly blame is the wheat and rice removal. I’ve not been 100% with sugar (more like 98%) nor 100% with dairy and it’s in my scrambled eggs. This is very much like the stories I’d heard from other people when they gave up wheat.
Regardless of energy levels, I am very glad this is my rest day. Walking up stairs causes the legs to whine.
