Exhilarating

If I could use one word to describe riding a bike it is EXHILARATING.

This morning I rode my bike while the hubby ran with K in the stroller. I wanted to keep up with my "hard workout week" idea, so I wore my handy dandy heartrate monitor watch, and made sure I kept my heart rate in the high 70%-85%. I actually once got up to 86% my maximum heartrate! Everytime I saw my handsome man on the track, I would go as fast as my body would let me to catch up. IT WAS SO EXHILARATING!!!!!!!!! I felt so alive riding my bike. It was so nice to have a change from the normal workouts. SO GOOD!

Something even better came out of this: I rode my bike for a total of 53ish minutes, and burned a little over 700 calories! WO DUDE!!!!! I was not expecting that much! But, hey, I welcome it! I hope that the weather is nice like this every saturday so I can saddle up on my bike and go as fast as I can go!

Can I say it again? IT WAS SO EXHILARATING! Nough said!
