500+ miles riding in the 176 days of March 2020.

30 days without leaving my house in April.

26 days of yoga with a toddler stuck on one leg in May.

16 floor-based workouts curled up in fetal position in June.

19 days exercising while simultaneously crying in July.

14 days riding with a mask in August because my useless husband exposed himself to the virus at Top Golf.

101 miles riding in September while my mother-in-law screamed at CNN in the background.

23 days ordering Postmates in October.

54 miles riding with a baby carrier on my back in November.

6 days screaming at my useless husband in December while he allowed his anti-masker family to stay with us, so help me God.

3 days in January keeping the Peloton in the basement so my useless husband could sleep on the living room couch.

2 minutes dancing to Cody Rigsby in February before getting interrupted by a possessed infant.

56 seconds attempting a Patience Meditation class in March before giving up and breaking out the vodka at 10 AM.

1,018 days still paying for this fucking bike until 2024.
