BIKE: 1 hr and 16.4 miles, just easy spinning indoors
COMMUTE: 6 miles
I did the indoor bike today just because. Because I wanted to. Because it's habit. Because I feel like if I don't do something I'm not myself.
So does that count as "junk" mileage? It's just a cardio workout. I wasn't looking for any particular training benefit, like speed work, power, strength, etc. I just wanted to burn off some energy.
So no, I'm not counting it as junk mileage. Instead I'm counting it towards what I'm calling my "lifestyle" mileage--the hours, yards, miles, and more that I feel I need to do just because. Add it to the commute miles, to the flights of stairs climbed (5+8+8 so far today), the standing desk at work, the long doggie walks, and the like.
Perhaps I should also count it as an addiction, given that I feel the "need" to do these things for no other good reason :)
