Phew, rolling again!

So today was in the 50's, sunny and beautiful.  I decided today was the day to try to ride again.  I knew it wouldn't exactly be a cardio workout, so I decided to run first then ride.  I went down to Vic Thomas swamp, I mean park where I parked the car with Ritchey locked on the bike rack.  I ran through Vic, Wasena and Smith Park, turned around and ran back.  I ended up having to walk a bit (URGH) then ended my run short of three miles.  I had gotten back to Vic, so I decided to ride.  I changed shoes and shirts, added a helmet then took off.  I rode to the sewage treatment plant and back.  It was an awesome 11.4 mile ride.  The only issue were the bumps and Splinty did not get along.  I also used Bar Mits for the first time in a long time to keep my hands warm.  They were almost too warm.  I enjoyed being back on the bike again, but I've got a long ways to go!  It's ok though because I've been knocked down before; but I will get up every time.

Look out ya'll - when these pins come out of my finger, I'm going to train harder than I ever have.  My doctor has me out of work until 2/22, and my MHA program ends two weeks later.  FREEDOM!!!!

Thanks for being my followers!!!
