Time to hit the bike trails!
Running didn’t work for me. For those that read regularly I posted of couple weeks ago that I was going to start running. I don’t think I have it in me to run and puke again… So no running for me, ever. I really truly despise running. Not only is it a knee and ankle killer for this big guy, it is also the epitome of boredom for me. haha.
Cycling however is another story. I have a great mountain bike (Giant Rincon) I picked up several years ago that has been sitting in storage for the two years I was busy getting fat. Yesterday I broke it free from it’s prison, aired up the flat tires, strapped on my helmet and took off for my first ride in two years…. only to find my rear tire was dead flat. Minutes after I inflated it… I was deflated.
Off to The Bike Center I go! Fortunately for Future-Timothy, Past-Timothy bought into the “Bike Buyer’s Club” when he bought the bike which enabled Present-Timothy to get a free yearly tune-up and discounted service on the bike. All said and done… $6.50 for a new rear inner-tube and my bike was ready to get back on the road.
After dinner tonight I am going to hit the road and cycle my normal walking route for a first ride. Should be around 2.2 miles for the first day, not too bad. Tomorrow I plan on hitting 4-5 miles after I get the kids to school.
I missed you Rincon. I am so glad you are home. 🙂
