What an amazing, awesome bike ride this morning! I was out at about 5:30 a.m., and I did 20.5 miles, my longest yet, for 1 hr and 40 mins. I was tired afterward, but it felt great. Not only that, but I did the ride on a road by the ocean, and had incredible views of the water and beach as I rode, and it looked just gorgeous in the early morning light. I felt glad to be alive.

Hi leo. glad to see you are going great with your workout. I am personally doing only weights now. I will start my running, after I get my report from my doctor as I had knee problems before. So I would like to know how much I can run without hurting myself. I know I can run, as was quite athletic during my highschool years and participated in many sports inthe highest level untill I hurt my knee. So I want to take it easy. Even though there is no visible pain or discomfort.
I also getting nike tracker the one you can hook up with your ipod and tracks the distance you run. So it should help me stay motivated.
If all goes well I might go for a mini-marathon here in NY at the end of this year.
cheers,

Awesome…great job….
How inspiring!! Leo, I love zenhabits and following your training blog. It gives me so much positive energy throughout the day. I appreciate all your posts, they are truly a huge inspiration and have been getting me through all those “Monday’s at the office” with a smile. I’ve even started recording my fitness/nutrition goals on Fitday again. Just wanted to say a big thanks and keep up the amazing progress !!
wow.
Im so impressed with how you (unlike so many of us in the great unwashed masses :)) decided to GET FIT and havent yet looked back.
Thanks for all the encouragement guys! I really appreciate it … it makes my day to hear nice things about the exercise I’ve been doing. I’m having a lot of fun!
Riding near the ocean.. gorgeous :) People living in such beautiful places like your island are really lucky :)
Good luck!
