At 60, I’m pretty proud of this one! 💪🔥 I beat my PR on today’s 75-minute Peloton ride AND leveled up to Silver status! 🥈

Even better? I’m on a 264-WEEK STREAK of never missing a week on my Peloton! 🙌 Consistency pays off!

And to top it all off, my two favorite instructors, Matt & Christian, coached me through it! ❤️ I couldn’t be happier to hit this milestone with them. Next goal? An IN-PERSON class with these guys in NYC! 🤞🚴‍♀️

I know this might seem like a little thing to some, but I’m proud of showing up, staying consistent, and prioritizing my health and fitness. Age is just a number, and I plan to keep challenging myself! 💥

My motto: YOU REST, YOU RUST! 💪

I had two separate sets of plans today to celebrate 5️⃣9️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ Rides that both fell through between changes in the kids’ after-school activities and a nail in my tire that had to be dealt with this morning. A live ride today was just not going to be in the cards for me.

I had the 75 Min Two for One Power Zone Endurance Ride with @mattwilpers and @christianvdv bookmarked, and it was on my radar especially after retaking my FTP last week before my long infusion day. After spending the majority of the day at the ball field yesterday with my little stud, I only did a quick 20 Min Recovery Ride and some core work, so I was set up pretty well for that long ride.

Things weren’t going according to plan for today, but I pivoted and got in some extra carbs and electrolytes and hit the bike. I figured I may as well celebrate big! I was in for even more than a challenge than I anticipated when I learned that all Zone 3 efforts would be low cadence (55-75) which is so much more challenging for me to keep smooth at those heavier resistances than Zone 3 in higher cadences.

I struggled in my last 2 efforts but held on and finished with a PR ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Even though this wasn’t my original plan, I’m glad I was able to celebrate with something that really challenged me. 75 Mins shockingly flew by, and I’m slowly working up the courage to dive into a 90 Min PZE.

I’m enjoying every minute of this fitness journey, and as I approach my 11th year of living with lupus and dermatomyositis, I’m feeling super grateful that I can do hard things both on and off this platform. This is so much more than a shoutout for me - it’s about beating the odds, continuing to build strength through challenge and being around for a long time as the healthiest and strongest mama I can be. 💜💜💜

Dead as a Duracell battery was the perfect way to describe how we should feel at the end, thanks @christianvdv 🤣🤣🤣 60mins in which your imagination is the most important part! And dang, did we FEEL those laps 😵😅 that last one almost 😮‍💨😮‍💨got me but we didn’t come this far to just come this far!! Do what you have to do but don’t quit! And don’t let the others see you are suffering! So smile!!🫡🫡🫡

Wrapped up 10 years at @onepeloton this week along with my birthday today! What better way to celebrate than with a 75 min ride with @christianvdv and the @onepeloton community 🤘

I can’t thank everyone enough for making this such a special experience (today…and the past 10 years). The team I get to work with every day is just stacked with incredible talent including of course the instructors, @jackysegoviasv , @tylerkowta , @darny84 and many more.

Lastly a big thanks to the Peloton community for all your love and support. I can only hope that I have helped you as much as you have helped me. Shoutout to @kmorin54 for those hilarious shirts today 😂

Thank you again…and now let’s get back to training 💪

Motto of the day “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” 🤣🤣 you know you are in trouble when @christianvdv actually uses 4 in the countdown 🤣🤣 today was all about efficiency and repeatability 😅😅🫡🫡 45min HIIT in which every second counts, you don’t drop out early and you definitely don’t fake it! Push yourself! Sit in the pain cave, it’s not like he’s hurt us before, well maybe just our feelings 🤣🤣 heck of a sesh today! THIS is how we win the day! 🫡🫡 #andstillridinmyfckinbiketonowhere

Wooooooo!! Heck of a Training sesh with @christianvdv high cadence work is the true unlock and the point of today (no sandbagging!!!)! Managed all ZN4/5s at about 107-110 with all ZN3s 96-98😅😅 yeah, my HR was not as fond but guess what? In order to get better, you have to be ok with being uncomfortable!! Suck it up, buttercup!!! This ain’t daycare! #andstillridinmyfckinbiketonowhere
