Intense Training

with 4 comments

This post is for my cycling friends.

As the date approaches for our annual June bike trip, it becomes important that I begin to prepare. I took an important step, or steps, last night, toward getting in shape.

I needed to get out of the house for a showing appointment, and I had yet to get in my daily therapeutic walk, so it was a great opportunity to take care of both issues at once. Since I had more time to kill than I usually use for my walk, I made a plan to go farther, and to add a destination as incentive.

That is where it became preparation for the bike trip week. I chose a Dairy Queen as my destination. I walked for 38 minutes to get to the ice cream treat. It went pretty well. I ordered a small, but was hardly able to finish it. I’m definitely not at peak form yet.

It’s good that I still have a couple weeks to get into shape for the trip. Looks like I’m going to need more practice.

  2. I’d hate to have to pass one of our DQ stops just because I wasn’t up to the intense regimen of ice cream inhalation we maintain on these expeditions!

  3. Getting that treat down without a brain freeze is a good work out πŸ™‚
