Vacation + 40:00 Stationary Bike

Finally home after a fantastic 8 day vacation in St. Lucia. There was plenty of sunshine and sand, of course, but the resort we stayed in was wellness-themed, so there was actually some fitness involved too! I stretched almost every morning, learned how to Zumba from a fabulous gay man and managed to struggle through a yoga class or two. I also go to try my hand at archery, wind surfing, sailing, fencing (yes, it's really as ridiculous as it looks from afar) and a smattering of other things. Throw in a daily spa 'treatment' and a pirate ship and we had ourselves a vacation to remember, although I'm pretty sure we were in bed by 10 every night (if we even managed to make it that long!).

Sadly, I had to return to real life and with it came the fact that vacations are for eating and drinking too much, and all the SUP-ing in the world probably won't erase that. So it's back to the grindstone for me, easing back into it with a biking workout. It's the same one I did here (seems like this is becoming my favorite post-vacation workout...) only this time I remembered to write down how far I went. Win!

Not bad for the first day back. Won't lie, hurt a little, but I'll get back into it. I would have liked to hit 11 miles but I couldn't quite get there. Goal for next time!
