Cycling and My Garmin

 Gratuity: I think and hope my baby finches from last year are building another nest.

Today Allen and I went for a 16 mile bike ride on the Hudson River Rail Trail.   It felt great.  We then went to the bike store and got the mountain bike tuned up, a bike helmet for me, and a new seat for my road bike.  


During the bike ride I also used my new Garmin 305.   For those not familiar with a Garmin, it is a GPS enabled watch that gives you all the information you wish to know about your running or cycling event.  You can easily see you distance, route, splits etc.   I hope to use it tomorrow for my first outside run of the year.  Check out the link below and you can see all the details of my 16 Mile bike ride on the Hudson Rail Trail.

Awaken:10:30AM (old habit creeping back)
Yesterday's MIT - Not good.  I am mostly upset that I did not run.   I have got to get back into my running routine.  My knee is feeling better but I think I am subconsciously afraid to re injure it.
Today's MIT - Did not create any.

Choices:  Great Bike ride but I ended up eating Hot Antipasto and some pasta at Longobardi's.   My guess is that my calorie in and out was not toward the weight loss side.   I need to figure out how to deal with exercise hunger better than that.
