200 Miles

Time: 1:49:02, Resistance Level: 4, Distance: 20.06 miles, Average Speed: 11.04MPH, Energy Burned: 1070Kcal, Average Pulse: 145

It would seem that getting my pulse to stabilize to any great extent was difficult during the first fifteen minutes of the workout. I don't know why. While I tried to stay at the bleeding edge of 150bpm for the workout, I found my pulse slipping to the mid-140s every time I took my eyes off the watch. I didn't expect I'd see that much of an improvement so soon. Unlike last night, pushing the pedals was easy, however. I was holding 12MPH for about the last ten minutes of the workout.

I noticed today that I appear to be gaining weight again. I don't know whether it's due to the alcohol over the weekend or the large increase in distance per session requiring me to build more muscle. Still, I've passed the two week mark and that's supposedly how long it takes to see any results from a fitness program. I passed the 200 mile checkpoint today so I'm in pretty deep now.
