Speed Cycling

I suspect that I will be sore tomorrow. I rode 2 miles at a very high speed on my bike this morning. Later, I rode another mile at a reasonable speed because I was so tired from the speed rides. My reason for doing this was my receipt of a note from my cardiologist. He was concerned because my LDL (Lousy cholesterol) was 103 and he wants it below 100. My total cholesterol was under 185 so I thought that was very good; however, Doc's note encouraged me to intensify my exercise so I decided I should listen to him. I also have been eating Cheerios for breakfast because our neighbor in the park says that eating Cheerios lowered his LDL by 20 points. I hope it will work for me; of course, I won't know for another 3 months. I have given it some thought and have decided that perhaps my numbers were higher because the test was done just 2 or 3 days before Christmas, when eating was at its best

Big sale here tomorrow so the girls and I will be hitting the Beall's store. Bingo comes around again tomorrow night; otherwise, the day should be a rather standard one, that is unless we can find something exciting to get into. (That often happens, too)
