30 Day Challenge – Day 8

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Whew, 8 days in and I can definitely tell a difference in the way my body feels. I have notice that with all of the cycling and elliptical I do, my legs are feeling firmer. Some days, I can tell how much stronger they have gotten when I am pulling up a hill on my bicycle and I can do it with much more ease.

Saturday was a big day for me as well as I was reffing in a derby tournament in Ventura and was on skates for most of 12 hours. Mind you I was seated or standing off and on, 4 hours of it was skating at a very fast rate. On the ride home I passed out from complete exhaustion.

I am getting more excited as I had spent some time Sunday working on Heidi’s single-speed bicycle I am building. Once it is finished (hopefully very soon), we will be out cycling together, something both of us really enjoy. Which will probably boost my cycling to 7 days a week.

Thursday: I rode my bike round trip for work.

Friday: Went to the gym in the am (30min of elliptical and 30min of weights/abs). I also rode my bike round trip for work.

Saturday: Skated vigorously for about 4 hours and skated moderately for about 7-8 hours.

Sunday: Walked for about 2 hours (at the Velodrome Swap Meet).

Today: Went to the gym in the am (30min of elliptical and 30min of weights/abs). I also rode my bike round trip for work.
