Jan. 31st, 2003

Well, I survived three solid weeks where the temperature stayed in the 0–25F range, and actually was out on the bike. That will increase even more beginning this week, because I'm catsitting for my friend Jeanie, who went to New Zealand for a month. So I'll be making the 16-mile round trip out to Malden and back 2–3 times per week until the end of February. Above and beyond that, my goal is to catch up with how much I'd biked in 2002 at the corresponding time. As you can see on the second graph on my Training Page, after being off the bike for six weeks with bursitis, I had about 120 miles to make up, but I've made 80 of that up, so I expect to catch up to 2002's mileage before the end of February.
