How many miles have you worked up to now!! Just wondering if you were working your way back up to where you were before.

Oh Joan,
Thank you for asking! Accountability is so important and honstly I'm ashamed of myself right now.!
I am not anywhere close to where I was. I still have a short cast on and my left hand is very weak making it difficult to ride, and impossible to shift with my left hand. Braking is scary, so I don't go very fast at all.
I did 15 miles Sunday but I never got warmed up as it is cold out. I know people in the "really cold" areas will laugh at me.
This weekend I have an organized ride with the AIDS/LifeCycle folks. They rate their rides on a scale of 1-4 for speed and 1-4 for hills. I was doing 4-3 and 4-4 rides before the broken wrist, This weekend I will do a 1-1. But at least I can ride. It's a 17 mile ride.
This is really silly, but my wife and I were playing around and she can beat me arm wrestling with my left hand...so sad...
Anyway, I need to get on it. I have really let myself go weight wise. I think I'm up maybe 6 lbs. but I don't know what the cast weighs. Not much I'm guessing. I did 1/2 hour on the elliptical this AM.
Thanks again Joan
Eric
I intend to live forever.....So far so good!
272/ /188 1.5 lbs. this week. I dare not say till the cast comes off
