First Biking Update

Friday night I hurried home and put myself together to go out on my first bike ride in almost 2 years. I dusted off the camelbak, unearthed my bike shorts and brushed off my helmet and headed out right after work.

It wasn't too tough but it wasn't easy either. There were several hills to climb and I had to dig deep to get up a few of them. I thought my heart might beat right out of my chest!

I rode 6 miles in 50 minutes and I was tired. In my mind that isn't good enough to do this 20 mile ride in 2 weeks.

So what I'm going to do now is ride more this week and see how I feel about it by the end of the week.

Regardless, I'm glad I'm riding again and it is nice to have a goal to work towards.
