80 Percenter

I have tonight reached the threshold of 2000 miles biked in my ticker of 2009 cycling. According to Dr. Gabe Mirkin--who I have never heard of nor know nothing about--this is equivalent to approximately 575-625 miles of running*** (as far as calorie consumption goes).

Mille bourn, deux fois.

2000 miles is of course eighty percent of my goal to hit 2500 miles by summer's end--now just 500 miles to go. My body right now is feeling a little worn down--my right knee hurts, my hamstrings are still tight, and my back is sore. I'm also not totally sure I'll be able to do the rest by September 22 (and I have a friend visiting me for a week right before then, so it'll be extra hard), but I'll do my best, which is ultimately all that matters. And either way, my hope is to continue biking to work every day until late October or early November, so I'll reach my goal eventually. What seems to matter to me most now is that--my broken body excepted--I feel pretty great right now.
