Thankfully I'm getting more miles in, but I can also see the increase in speed...not fast yet, but improvement is improvement!

Missed my swimming last week, so need to get back to it this week. Hoping to join some folks from BT to do some riding up in Boulder and with any luck some open water swimming. Need to get my butt in the lake...oh wow that reminds me I was soaking my wetsuit this morning...guess I better go get it out of the tub. :)

Well I did it....I fell over on my bike. Yep you know it had to happen as I get used to the new shoes and pedals. Because of a flooded underpass I had to go up and cross the street...as I was going to push the Walk button, I had one foot unclipped, going for the button and the next thing I knew I was going down. Yep right there in front of everyone at the stop light. I didn't even look...just got up and brushed myself off. Bent the brake handle thingy (that's the technical term if you were wondering) in, but my son who is much stronger then me was able to push it back so the damage to the bike was minimal as was the damage to my body, a couple of bruises and some scratches. My ego it's fine too, after all "it happens to everyone" right?

Looking forward to possibly meeting some of you this weekend!

Hey Julie!
Yes, improvement is improvement!
I have done the falling over thing and now almost always take both feet out of the peddles when I am about to stop.
I love the word "thingy" it works for everything.
Hope the weather holds up. It looks like rain now but you know how the weather report is. I will e-mail you my phone number so we can keep in touch.

Great numbers!
Sorry for the bike "falling", that's good now that it's out the way and all will be smooth from now on!

Congrats on the improvement!
