Biked instead of walked

I went to the apartment complex's "gym" to work out, and saw that the treadmill was busy. But, did I turn around and go back to the apartment? NO! Instead, I decided to bike! It was interesting, since I haven't ridden a bicycle since ... I don't know how long. I biked for a half-hour, about 7.8 miles. Yay me!
Of course, I'm going to add this mileage to my goal. I know my goal says WALKING 100 miles in 8 weeks, but miles are miles, right? For those who are gonna stick to the rules and are pledging, you don't have to count the 7.8 miles. But I really hope you do count these miles ... remember, I did the right thing and did some type of workout instead of just using the excuse that the treadmill was taken!
It was easier to bike, since my shoes weren't sliding against my heels. It actually hurt today to move around at work, so I think walking on the treadmill probably would've made it worse. Bonus!
Anyway, keep checking the blog for more funny stories. If you want to give tips, ideas, on how to have a better workout (for someone who hasn't worked out in YEARS), or just give support and motivation, please leave comments.
I know that some of you are trying to make fixed donations to Peak 4 Poverty, and Paypal isn't working on this page. I've let P4P know about this problem, and hopefully they will fix it soon. I will let you know when it is fixed. Until then, hold on to your money, or even add more to the donation!
Good night for now, and hope that you keep these children in your thoughts and prayers, as well as me (for not dying from the workouts!)

  1. Good for you for continuing with your revised plan! You may need to get new shoes, though. These don't sound like a good fit for walking. :)
