Whew! Feel so much better with another 20 mile ride under my belt. Well, actually it was a 20.28 mile ride but who’s counting? 
I think Wednesday might become my “long ride” day from here on out because literally every weekend from now until the end of April is booked!
Before heading out, I ate an apple and then after about an hour I had 2 shot blocks. I was MORE than ready for a huge veggie sandwich around 12:30!
There was cheese, hummus, avocado and tons of veggies on this sandwich. I INHALED it. I also had a coconut water for some electrolyte action.
I need to do some major stretching later. My legs were already pretty sore from all the lunges I did yesterday and now I just feel a tad stiff. I’m going to write for a couple hours now and then head to the studio to work till 6. I see a green monster in my future….need to eat all that spinach I bought earlier in the week!
Enjoy your afternoon!

Congrats! 20 miles is amazing! Did you make/buy your sandwich because it looks delicious
20 miles! That’s awesome! Maybe you found your true fitness calling. It always amazes me how biking and running use such different muscle groups. Someone who bikes regularly may have a hard time running, and vice versa. As a runner, I think I’d be lucky if I could bike 5 miles w/o passing out
Great ride! That veggie sandwich looks awesome!
What is that first picture of?
christie,
right outside my front door!
That picture is so cool and old-school looking! Did you just play around with photoshop to get it that way?
looks so healthy and lovely!
20 miles is amazing! i really wish i were more athletic, congrats congrats congrats!!!
Well done on the 20 miles! You’re gettin up there!!!
Oh a green monster in the near future is always a good thing. I’m on a roll, outside of 1 day this past weekend I have had a monster every day!!!
Love that picture! Makes me wish I knew how to play with photoshop!
Oooh and that bread looks so light and amazing!
Awesome ride…and TOTALLY don’t sell yourself short…count those .28 miles!!! You earned it!

Wow 20 (.28) miles! That’s amazing! I wish I could get into cycling it seems easier on the knees than running…and I am totally jealous of your sandwich…did you make it yourself? If so….I want full deets! I love veggie sandwiches….I’m always looking for ideas for different combos…a deli near my workplace makes one with goat cheese, hummus, spinach, grated carrots and tomatoes on toasted whole wheat and it is awesome!
20 miles that’s amazing and that veggie sandwich looked amazing and probably tasted so good after working so hard.
That sandwich looks amazing!! There is something about cafe sandwiches that are just impossible to imitate at home. Congrats on the ride!
Gosh that sandwich looks fantastic!!!!! And congrats on the bike ride.. must be nice to have all that alone time to yourself on the rides
Jenna congrats on your 20miles!!!!!amaaaazing!!!!! Can’t wait until your book comes out!!! Till then all the caffeine and wine is forgiven
Have a great evening and your sandwich looks yummy!!
veggie sandwich! of course! adding that to meatless meal ideas… congrats on the long ride!
Oh my Lord – that bread on that sandwich looks so good – soft and “tear-able” – is that multigrain?
cheese rocks on sandwiches
WTG on the ride – gosh…when I used to bike ride before I always found it “weird”, like sometimes just pedaling….not really a workout – didn’t get my heart rate up….but that was years ago when I had a bike in school…
thoughts???
It’s so much easier for me to do the most exercise on the days I also should have class, weirdly enough. I figure as long as those miles get in sometime, that’s good enough!
That sandwich looks so amazing.
Wow what a great ride!
I’m not sure what it is, but that veggie sandwich looks amazing! I want one now, even though i just ate din.
you always have the best veggie sandwiches
hope your GM is stellar, they always make me feel so good!
What an amazing looking sandwich! And coconut water sounds WONDERFUL! I love coconuts so I will have to try to find some of this for sure!
Congrats on the long ride. I like using mid week workouts for intervals.
Hey there..
Great ride!!
I love cycling…you have to try Hammer gels during your long rides!! I swear those and bananas really powered me through 75 miles and i have no doubt they’ll get me through my century this year!
All I can say….is Hammer gels ROCK:)
Coconut water after a ride, that sounds amazing! How nice.
mmm that sandwich looks fantastic
Woo-hoo for 20 miles – that’s awesome!! Isn’t it amazing how lunges will always make you sore?
That sandwich looks awesome!!!
hey girl, do you mind explaining in an upcmoming blog exactly what “maca” is…? i’ve seen you mention it afew times but you’ve really got me interested now with the “double espresso” comment..love caffeine!
thanksss!!
great ride! I’m a big fan of shot blocks or luna moons on longer rides. I also love coconut water and did a post on it’s research. It has actually been used for IV hydration in other countries! I just wish I had a bit more sodium to be labeled as a ‘sports drink’.
