Sunday was not Run Day!


I thought I was going to have Sunday be my first day of adding lots more running in with 5 mintues of running every 15 minutes but I did not do that at all. I cought what ever sickness my daughter brought home from school and I was not feeling well at all. I still forced myself to get on the treadmill and I did try to run at the end of the hour walk but I could not do it for 5 minutes with out feeling like I was going to thow up. I am going to stick with this every day and continue to at least walk each day. I am hoping that I feel better for todays treadmill session but so far I am feeling okay at best. 

As for the keeping with in the calories I failed on that front as well. I ended up over eating quite a bit because when I don't feel good I try to eat it away which never works but sort of comforts me for a few moments. If you are wondering I what I mean I ate half a large family sized chiken pot pie and half a sleeve of double stuffed Oreo cookies for dinner. It filled stomach and while I was shoveling the Oreos in my face I thought maybe I should not do this but kept going becuase I did not think about how sick I was feeling I was just feeling happy. Then the Oreos were gone and I felt sick once again except this time over full too. 


I should have known I was going to feel sick the other day becuase I was noticing how awful my writing had been and how I was not able to focus on doing anything. That always happens to me before I feel sick, around 2 days before I get symptoms of a sickness I start losing focus and having to do tasks that center around focusing suffer in quality. This would include things like wiritng emails or long blog posts.

I am still aiming for getting at least 1 hour of walking each day next week or if I can get outside do something like a bike ride, though the weather is showing all rain for the whole next week so that is not looking like a bike ride will happen. I can not wait to start mixing up the exercises with more than just treadmill. 

 I am going to drink some tea with honey, take a nap, and continue the journey. Have a wonderful day and thank you for reading!

Review of the Ozark Trail 700C G.1 Explorer Gravel Bike.

Ozark Trail 700C G. 1 Explorer Gravel Bike. 7/10 not a bad bike!  I have read and watched a few reviews on the Ozark Trail 700C G. 1 Explorer Gravel Bike and I am typing it out by full name becuase I think that has the best chance for my review to be read. Anyway I am writing this review after watching and reading other reviews becuase there is something very odd that I have noticed with them. Either this bike is the best bike on the market for the money or its should go straight to the trash becuase its the worst. I feel that both of these types of reviews are just wrong but they do all have good points about the bike. I have put 500 miles on the bike and I have thoughts on it as well as the discourse about the bike.  So this bike cost 250 dollars before taxes. For that 250 dollars you get a heavy gravel bike with cheap components. One of the complaints I have heard about this is that Walmart sells bike shaped objects and nothing is pretentious than a cyclist saying that...

Ozark Trail 700C G.1 Explorer Gravel Bike 1000 mile updated thoughts.

1000 Miles of Riding the Ozark Trail G.1 Explorer Gravel Bike I have ridden this bike for 1000 miles according to my Strava logs so I figured it was time to update my thoughts on the bike and go over some of the things I still like about it and some of the things I don't like about it. I would rather give my summary upfront and then explain the rest later on so if you want to read the details you can but if not then just read the summary. It is a good bike even after 1000 miles I had not had issues with it that hinder my ability to ride it. I would buy another if this one broke or something else happened to it. I also see this as a perfect starter bike or a bike to have as extra such as when friends come over. Now the summary quick thoughts are over lets get into the detials on things.  The Wheels and Tires The tires are one of the first things I had little hope for when I started riding this bike. They are kenda tires but the bike is 250 dollars so they would not be good tires rig...

Still on the journey and exercising every day.

I have still be exercising every day and feeling okay about myself, as far as health and body goes anyway. There have been lots of things that have got in the way of my journey that I have not let stop things but do make me feel down and that is the reason things have not been updated here in a bit. When I sit down to type out a post I end up thinking about other things I could do with the short amount of time I had and I end up doing nothing with that time and not updating the blog either. Anway enough of that for now, it is time to write about the journey since my last post.  I have been going on bike rides and expanding the range of the bike rides as well as the speeds of the rides. I mentioned joining Strava and I have been trying to get as fast as I can on some of the segments I like. I have not got close to beating anyone on a segement but trying is fun for me and gives me a goal to strive for. I also ended up buying another bike for some extra fun. I have been riding mostly ...
