My friends from UW Ruben, Mark, and I biked up from my house to Bothell on the Burke-Gilman trail today. It was my first ride of the season… 1.5 hours. Man… I am out of shape! My legs turned to jelly about 1/3 of the way back, and my butt is just completely sore. I also need to get new shoes… my feet were getting numb in these. Not a good sign.
Ruben’s trying to get me to take part in an Oregon Coast ride the first week of July… I’m thinking about it. Would get me out and about more, and I think that’s something that would be good for me. May just head down to REI and pick up a heart-rate monitor / trip computer + some new shoes. My dividend from them this year is gonna be huge… not sure if that’s a good thing.
Oh — and for all you readers out there who get notified (Hi Meg!) — sorry for the burst from China, didn’t realize they were all still in the queue!
