Riding Along...

It was a BEAUTIFUL spring day today! Oh it is so refreshing to have nice weather. It's unfortunate that temps will drop this coming week and bring more snow. I am ready for full on spring, but I'll take what I can get for now.

We spent a lot of the day cleaning and such, but by the late afternoon I was ready to get out of the house. I pulled out my bike and we road down the street. I wasn't sure how my body would handle it, but overall it went well. Mine and Jared's legs are out of practice so we had to walk our bikes up the 'hill' but I didn't have any trouble with balance or hurting. For a little bit afterwards my left leg was giving me some problems when I walked but that actual riding was quite refreshing. If it weren't for the turn of weather I think we would be up to doing it every day and build up our stamina again. I did discover my back tire's valve has a leak so that will have to be taken care of better than the electrical tape fix I did today. Last summer when I tried to change out my tires I couldn't get them off. Maybe Matthew would be able to do it even if I couldn't.

Wowzuhs!

holy smokes I'm out of shape! My legs have been begging for me to get back into a walking routine and last week the weather convinced me to get out and do it, but before I actually followed through it snowed. I decided to set up my treadmill 'office' and walk while I was on the computer instead of laying in bed all day. I've been walking for 35 minutes and have only gone a mile and I'm POOPED!

That being said, I feel so much better than I have been now that it is done! I feel like I have more energy overall :) If only the weather could stay nice.....
