So…I’ve been riding the bike. Got some new shoes and pedals to help increase efficiency. They work pretty well. Rode 22 miles on Monday and today rode for 20 minutes. I’m still a little sore from Mondays ride, so I took it easy today. It’s getting close to the time when I have to really step up the training, though. A co-worker gave me some training DVDs and I’m going to start with one of those on Fridays ride.
In other news, my Grandpa went in to the ER on Saturday due to severe back pain that kept him from being able to move at all. I visited him on Sunday in the hospital and he was doing better then — he was able to walk around with only occasional twinges of pain. The discharged him from the hospital on Monday. I’m glad he is doing better.
I also learned on Monday that a former boss of mine, from when I worked at a magazine company, passed away on August 15 — Cliff Crase. He was a good guy with a big heart, and I liked him. I’m planning to attend his memorial service on Monday.
Are you STILL riding da bike?….:)
