This is an absolute horrible start to “bike to work week”. I had grand plans — run on Monday & Wednesday, bike Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday — and then bike the 67 mile “Tour de Cure” on Sunday after my symphony concert (as I won’t be able to ride during the actual event, due to… Continue reading My Sunday Brunch

I think I can safely say that I’ve become a runner. No – that gives the impression that I move fast, and I don’t. Maybe I can safely say that I’m a jogger? Still, no – “jogging” has a connotation of moving swiftly . . . I can safely say that I’m a meanderer? I… Continue reading Injuries are Annoying

So, I’ve been running more & more, and I’m afraid to admit that I’m kind-of enjoying myself. What used to be “get out the door, force myself through a mile, walk a bit until I could push myself more, get through those three miles come hell or high water” is really turning into a pretty… Continue reading Running

If you know me, you know that I’m a bit tall. If you’ve known me since I was little, you know that “little” is a relative term. A substitute threw me out of class in 4th grade because she thought a high school student was having a laugh. Why am I telling you this? Well,… Continue reading My history with running

I’m relaunching this blog — no longer cycling only (it’s not like I was actually posting to it previously, so I’m not sure why I need to state why). I just want a forum where I can hold myself accountable for my strives to make myself healthy. I’ve noticed little things: I might be slightly… Continue reading Relaunch

So it’s been awhile — I’ve been biking a whole lot – just not blogging about it at all, which is kind of a shame, as I’ve enjoyed blogging – it’s just that what started as a tool to keep me motivated turned out to be a tool for a task that didn’t need to… Continue reading Been Awhile

Just got back from a great ride — while I was able to sneak out once before, I don’t really count it . . . it was more to make sure that my legs were still working and just to enjoy an unseasonably warm day. Today, I think, is the official start of the riding… Continue reading First Real Ride of the Season

And with an unusually mild day in February, my 2009 season begins. I made it out yesterday — a nice little hilly sixteen mile ride during a windy 50-something degree day. It was awesome. Of course, I don’t have a lot to report here – just that it feels great to be on the road… Continue reading And a new season begins

It’s been awhile since my last post — but I don’t have a whole lot to write about — I simply haven’t been biking much. There have been the occasional trips outside when the weather has been nice, but there has been nothing with me and commuting — it’s been far too dark. Yes, there… Continue reading Getting Light Outside

So, I didn’t get to bike in today. I was planning on it, seriously! It’s just, when I walked the dogs at 5:00 in the morning, with the ground frozen . . . and when I realized just how cold I was when I got back into the house (even though I was all bundled… Continue reading Stupid Cold
