April was an active month. I ran my second half marathon of the year early in the month, and set a second personal best this year. I also rode my bike a decent amount. Mostly 20 mile rides with a couple shorter loops of the lake, along with one 45 mile ride.
We got into RAGBRAI so I’ll have to step up the riding distance to be ready for 7 days on the bike. But that will be fun. I’m hoping we get more sun than we’ve had recently so I can have fewer worries about long rides on dirt and gravel.
Not much progress
I lost no weight in April. I was mostly good day to day, but very up and down. Bad days definitely offset the good. I’m wondering if I should make some changes, maybe stop using exercise to let me eat more. May will be a challenge, too. I’ll be traveling quite a lot which means less cycling and more restaurants. Both are bad for my progress.
Not much to do but keep trying though.
