I’m back!

And very excited about it. For the past 3 months I have been a combination of sick and lazy. I’ve been over the sick part since the end of January (yes, I was sick for about 2 months)…and have been just lazy for the past month. That’s all about to change, though.

My husband emailed me about an indoor triathlon. I said, “Sign me up”. Yep…and I haven’t really worked out since around Thanksgiving. I’ve taken a few walks…did a little Wii Fit…a workout video once or twice…but really haven’t put on a good sweat in months. And now I’ll be swimming for 10 minutes, spinning for 20, and going around the track for 15. I figure this is the kick the pants I need to get off my butt and get moving.

I’m looking forward to the race. I did an indoor tri a couple of years ago. It was fun and I didn’t finish last (always a bonus). This time I just want to finish. I’m excited the run portion is on a track and not the treadmill. As I’ve written before, I’m not a very good runner on the treadmill.

Again…it’s great to be back!

Evening Ride

It was a beautiful evening for a ride. I do need a new bike. Mine is OLD….and it hasn’t been the same since I flew over the handle bars last year (helmets are a must!). The gears don’t shift very well…the brakes stick (hence the reason I thought I could fly last year). I’m going to take in for at least a tune up….maybe do some browsing while I’m at the bike shop.

Short Ride

My daughter and I decided to take a short ride to my parents’ house. They only live 1.25 miles across town. We connect the trailer and she hopped in to enjoy the ride. Those trailers get heavy with an added 39 lbs inside. We hung out for awhile and loaded up for the trip home.
