Play outside

Currently listening to: I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

It's warm again...

because the temperature gauge on my car says so.



4:49pm today near home.....nice view



view from my office window...makes it hard to work sometimes because ya' just wanna' be out there.

Since this lovely warm weather is coming upon us again, you feel you must...get...outside!

Last week was not as warm (sunshine can be deceiving). We got outside anyhow and did some biking near the bay, about a 12 mile leisurely ride. Though it was on flatter ground then last time, the wind made it feel like we were climbing uphill. However, the wind was nice on the way back.

When you under-estimate...

Currently listening to: The dryer....it's laundry-day Sunday

I entered Leon and I in the Muddy Buddy contest a couple weeks back. This has now turn into a full-on competition between friends. What that means is... I need to get my out-of-shape ass in gear!

So, got our mountain bikes, installed the accessories, and yesterday - we were ready for our first ride.

We live in an area where there are lots of hiking and mountain-biking trails. Ideal for such training you may say....

But it is also a bit "hilly"....and when you haven't so much as run a mile in the past year...getting up two very steep hills is brutal. I got halfway down the dirt trail and had to turn back. My legs were burning.

Better work my way up in baby steps...
