I am in an especially great mood today because of my session with my naturopath Dr. Ben Connolly last night. He did my measurements and I am down 6 inches, and 5% body fat!! Woohoo!! I was so motivated with the changes, that I completed a 26 km bike ride after the appointment. Although he is pleased with my new biking regime, he recommended I include some gym work for cross training and core work. That will be my emphasis once I get these 1000 km in. He gave me a B-12 shot in my arm, and I am taking 1200 mg of B12 daily now for an added energy boost.
My ride in this morning was a little hairy because of the direction of the sun. You can tell Fall is coming because of this change. The light was directly in my eyes, and even with sun glasses it was hard to see through the glare of its rays. I was scared I would run in to a walker or fellow biker on the trail and knock them over. Then when I hit the roadways, I figured if I can't see in front of me, the car behind me can't see me either. I had to be extra careful and stuck to walking my bike on the sidewalk on Mumford Road.
Well I am getting all geared up for my 100 km hike next weekend. My good friend Del is joining me. My initial plan was to bike return to Enfield, but I am still really nervous around cars so I changed the plans. We are going to be biking from Halifax to Hubbards return, completely on the trail. It will likely take 8 hours with rest stops, and lots of sports drinks for added electrolytes. He is such a good sport! Pete graciously bowed out of the challenge not feeling he is ready for a run that long. Maybe next biking season.
I hope every one has a great day and Janice Louise, we have to walk soon! Maybe tomorrow after work???? I could meet you at the Coca Cola plant after my ride home to Lakeside? 6 pm?? Let me know! :) Tracey
