Making Up for Lost Time

Well, so much for my pledge to blog more regularly. I'm sure both of my loyal readers will be hanging on my every word.

Ray and I went to see Julie and Julia a couple of weeks ago and it sort of belatedly inspired me to write. BTW- it's a good movie, Meryl Streep is fantastic.

Anyway, I'm finally starting to crank out regular miles - I have about 360 for the last 10 days. For most of those rides I was riding strong and keeping up with the old farts that usually smoke me. The miles caught up with me a bit yesterday when my knee started barking a bit. I guess that makes me an old fart, too. Sort of....

Anyway as of today I have 1,840 miles. I would like to get to 2,000 within the next 10 days or so. But depending on weather, I am probably going to end up with about the same mileage as last year, around 2,400. Sigh.

Maybe we'll have a nice long lingering mild autumn followed by a nice mild (by Chicago standards) winter.
