back it up.

24.9 miles

i love running errands on a bike... though i usually don't, today i rode with my mp3 player. the ride out gives you some time to really, i mean really, analyze the lyrics to zepplin's "whole lotta love".

it'll also markedly improve your mood.

fat fit.

21.3 miles

you ride, you train, you get fit... you don't ride, you don't train, you get fat...

i'm currently working on the latter. for the past year riding has not been a priority or for much of the time even possible with the schedule i've worked. as a means of coping with stress i ate to forget... and i've paid the jiggly price. for the past month or so all of the riding i've been doing is in the woods, which is nice but it's obvious i have no endurance whatsoever anymore. today after short-stack of apple pancakes with raspberry puree i set out to get some miles into my legs and burn off that delightful side of bacon i was coerced into getting. it was good to again feel the manageable burn i was so used to at one point. i've got a long way to ride before i'm back in reasonable shape, but, i hate to sound cliché, it's like riding a bike, you never forget.
