milktreeAs of today I've ridden over a kibimile on my bicycle this year. 1,033 miles since mid May.
I credit COVID for this to some degree, in that we couldn't go out and hike and we were home nearly every day all summer.
I also credit Rachel, who this summer went from nothing to being able to run almost six miles. That was an inspiration.
It's ironic that COVID, which has killed nearly a quarter million people and messed up countless more, has had such a marked positive effect on our (Rachel and my) health. I've lost about 8% in weight (--fat, +muscle), my pants are a couple sizes too big, and my resting pulse has dropped about 10pbm. Ironically, my old smaller-waist jeans don't fit because the thighs are too small and the waist is a little loose.
The real trick will be maintaining it over the winter.
