The past week was a good walking week, and a not so good biking week. I managed at least one and a half hours on my feet the days that I walked - all but Friday, which was a rest day for me, and Saturday, which was a biking day. I still need to get myself back to the gym on a regular basis; my goal is to try to maintain a level of 90 minutes of aerobic exercise most days, plus some weight workouts too.
The threat of an imminent cold rain canceled my Saturday riding plans, but I still managed a dry close-to-home ride. I think I was wearing the right layers for the temperature, but it was hard to get started. If I wore enough clothes to be comfortable at the start of my ride I would have been soaking wet from sweat by the time I returned home.
I find it much easier to get the right amount of exercise when I can ride my bike outside. Somehow indoor workouts just aren't as satisfying, and the time certainly doesn't seem to go by as fast. And yes, you're right - I need to stop complaining about the change of seasons and get used to the colder temperatures. After all, there is more and much deeper cold on the way before I get my choice of weather back again!
