Time to get serious

Well, it's been a while, but I plan to start updating this frequently now that summer is beginning. I hope to lose at least 20 kilos by the end of the summer.

Today I decided to take it easy--I've been eating and drinking too much crap since I came here, and I'm really out of shape. I'm changing the diet, too, but that's not my focus here.

I went for an hour and ten minutes there and back along part of the Arakawa.

21.24 km
Average speed:19.5km/hr.

I checked my new bike computer using the kilometer signs along the bikepath, and it seems to be roughly correct. Plus, bikely/google maps also agree.

I stretched after 45 minutes (always forget to do it beforehand) and it made an obvious difference. I was doing 24km/hr outbound, with the wind, then 20km/hr on the way back against the wind. After I stretched thighs, calves, and ankles, I got back on and managed about 24km/hr against the wind.



The map shows half the trip: the return trip followed roughly the same path.
