The Blaſphemous Bicycler

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages….Bone has not had a smoke in 7 days!!! Woo Hoo!
…and there was much rejoicing…

Woke up this morning feeling like hell. I think I’m catching a cold or something. I did a short ride anyhow.Elapsed Time: 00:25:27
Max Speed: 25.3mph
Average Speed: 15.9mph
Distance: 6.75 miles

While I was getting ready to ride, I got distracted by the TV long enough to get a resting heart rate reading. I don’t have anything to compare it with, so I dunno if it’s a good number or not, but the number is 74bpm.

On the smoking front, I’m still on the wagon, but I’m getting stronger cravings of longer duration than I had the other week. I am confident that Thor will give me the strength to resist.

Update 10:58AM
According to these guys, a RHR of between 60 and 80bpm is acceptable for an ‘untrained’ person.

No bike ride today, because i got a new Palm Pilot last night and I was up late playing with it.Still on the wagon, too!

Update 2:35PM

Needed 2mg gum

Elapsed Time: 00:41:57
Max Speed: 21.4mph
Average Speed: 14.9mph
Distance: 10.40 milesJust some light work on the trainer today. My legs are just starting to get over the soreness from Saturday’s ride.

I am also noticing that it’s harder to get my heart rate up when I’m not smoking. I suspect this has something to do with the Carbon Monoxide that’s no longer binding up my hemoglobin.

The slick tires do indeed make the trainer a bit quieter. The big CA-CHUNK from changing gears is still pretty loud though
