Oh, the bike!

My bike and I are clearly bonding up. We spend at least 6 hours together every week. If I have a tough workout, I watch Hulu TV. If I have an easy one, I can read your blogs.


Looking at this picture I am reminded how I am flat chested when I first got the bike I was worried that I am going to be super uncomfortable on it. Well, I am not. The aero position feels great. I have zero back pain, or any kind of pain. And the more tucked in I am the more power I generate.

By the way, the front of the bike was placed on about 10-15 inches of books, to simulate a long hill for my muscular endurance 2 hour ride this evening.

Mom is visiting for 3 weeks. I already skipped a workout (swim). There will be more skipped workouts since otherwise I won't have any time with her. If I did not like my mom this would not be a problem, but my mom is amazing and I like spending time with her. Everything will be fine as long as I don't skip any runs since my first HM is in less than a month!
Have a great week!

It really is all about good fit--glad you found yours. And heck yeah, skipping workouts for parents is well worth the time!

Doesn't matter if you're flat chested if you have hot legs:)

Have fun with your mom! Pretty sure you're due for a few skipped workouts Wonderwoman! I didn't realize your half was in a month already. Wow-time flies!

I was just thinking how FLAT your stomach is! Don't worry about your boobs - anything big starts to sag eventually so your option is the far more attractive one over time. Take it from someone with bigger boobs and a bigger stomach...

I know what you mean about skipping workouts when your mom comes over - I bought mine a day pass to my gym last week so I could get my run in but I'm exhausted with doing my other runs before she and my father got up...

that's the way to do it! sometimes I even prefer zoning out on the trainer and catching up on some good tv shows rather than getting all geared up to go outside! :)

I would short circuit my lappy with all the sweat that flies around when I am on the trainer!! LOL

Looking good!! and who needs boobs anyway?? they just slow ya down :) I like Jen's comment about who needs boobs when you have legs!! <3

LOL flat chest. Whatever! I'd take it if my belly would be flat too :) Time with mom is way more important than long workouts. I know you'll still get some in anyway ;)

I love that you can read blogs while biking! I need to be talented (or coordinated?) like that!
