It's about time!


This past weekend I took my road bike out of my spare bedroom and pumped up the FLAT tires!
I have decided that I need to put the bike to work, after all I bought it new from "The Flying Fish" in Tampa January 2009 and I have set my rear end on it only two times the second time was today after work. I rode for 20 minutes that totaled 5 miles and I have to admit I was out of breath and once my feet hit the concrete my legs were like noodles. This makes me aggravated at myself because to not long ago ( well ok ... a bit over a year) I was running and worked my self up to a point where I felt I was in shape to run 3 miles with out stopping but I overdid it and injured my knee and that kept me out of the loop for sometime. Since then I have wanted to get back at it and today was the day!!!!! Proud of my out of shape self to do 5 miles and I am determined to keep at it and add my running back into the mix. Its time to just do it and this also helps me keep my mind from not worrying about the day to day work stuff that can seem to take over and that is just not healthy. OH and one more tid-bit.....when you ride a bike that requires special shoes that lock into the pedal its important to remember that when dismounting!

Gotta Go its time to get some sleep.
