Project 52 will be delayed

I try to post the Project 52 page as soon as I can on Wednesday morning, but that is not going to happen this week. We didn't get home from the long Labor Day weekend until 8 pm tonight and I haven't even seen my own photos yet. I have, however, unpacked, washed and dried a load of laundry, did my two hours of biking, reassured the cats we're home and still love them. Not to mention had dinner, took a shower, and washed my hair. I forgot to bring shampoo with me so while we were gone I was washing it with Dr. Bronner's hand soap. Smells great but my hair was not very happy with me.

Wow. You must be exhausted. How often do you bike for two hours. I'm sure I would drop in a puddle.

I try to use my exercise bike every night. I tell time rather stupidly though, sort of like a psychiatrist's hour, only my hours are based on a television hour and minus the commercials. I pick whatever combination of shows that tally to two hours (two one-hour shows, or one one-hour show plus two half hour shows, that sort of thing) and start peddling. I skip the commercials and bike only as fast as I feel like going. If the show is interesting and I feel pretty okay, I can maintain a speed of about 12 miles per hour. If I feel not-so-good I may hover near 8 mph. If I feel like absolute crap I'll manage about 6 mph with breaks where I just stop and watch tv for a few minutes. Those nights (which thankfully are uncommon) I will stop after the first hour and call it quits.

If this was not inside and if it weren't for my television addiction, I would not be able to pull off biking every night.

I don't know how I would do on a road bike. When I developed the drop foot I stopped using one as the odds of falling over were just too high. I'd like an outdoor three- or four-wheel recumbent but they are expensive and I don't know how much I would really use it. I hate being too hot, too cold, not to mention cold rain and snow.

I still think that's most excellent. Once it cools off, I'm going to get serious about walking. I am so not getting any younger. I have o excuse. I was a bump last winter. I should start lifting weights again as well. You should be proud of your biking.

I will look forward to seeing it whenever it gets up!
