X Post: WHat was I thinking!

What was I thinking!

Today I decided it was an ok day, not to windy,not to cold (not hot by any means) and was a good day for a test drive...or should I say ride!

This afternoon I got on my bike, NO not a motor type,but yet the old peddle your arse off kind of bike. I wanted to clock how long it would take me to get to the school I will be working at this summer. I had drove it and it was approx 2.5 miles ONE WAY.

Well I made the whole round trip! My legs are a little shakey,my back is stiff. I will need to sit/hang in my LTX3000 therapy chair after posting this. I have not rode that far in many yrs. I had taken it around the area we live in for maybe 3 miles. Which was around the same area two times LOL

It took me 55 minutes round trip. That is including stopping into the consignment store to pick up my money, Stopping at curves to cancel my membership. So, if you take that away, maybe 40 minutes round trip?

This getting healthy stuff is wonderful and tiring LOL
Until next time, Be kind to your friendly bikers- You never know it might be! LOL

So far so good. Thank gosh I had the brains to buy that wide seat,spring loaded and gel padding . It makes a world of difference

 Oh I know how you feel Kelly... that shaky leg bit after a jaunt on the ol' bicycle.  I've been going out here and there, with the toddler trailer in tow.... it's great at first, because I live on a hill.  Coming home.... not so much.  That last block is a killer and I know better to even attempt to get up my driveway.  I don't feel bad about that, though... even my kids and their friends get off  their bikes and push 'em up the hill when they get to the driveway.

Still, it feels awfully good to get up on that bike.  This time last year, I never would have been able to do even a block.  Woo hoo!!

I decided I enjoy riding bike again too. Just need to find one more comfortable.

Itasca State Park here I come!
