It is cold here and I do not like it one bit. I have my running goal but am thinking of a bike (Peloton) goal too. Not sure what though. I'll wait and see when I get back to work and see how often I can use the bike after work. So far my only race is the one in March. But if I keep missing training runs then I need to rethink it.Zenaida Arroyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137949290555784656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-66480675954882599942022-01-07T22:43:26.542-06:002022-01-07T22:43:26.542-06:00Glad biking is going well for you!

Re: Garmin dependent, funny how we j ust know some distances. When I first switched to the Apple watch people were warning me about the inaccuracy. BUt my 4m morning run is four miles. Sometimes it's 3.98 and others is 4.05 if I don't need to buy coffee. The curves would make me crazy too.
