mouseferatuKnew it. Knew it would happen. I stopped exercising for a couple of days, for various health reasons, and didn't pick it back up. Bleah on me.
So, today. Went riding for the first time* on my new bike.
I doubt we got even a mile before I had to turn back. Partly I'm woefully out of shape, and partly it's the fact that the last time I went bike riding--which was, oh, in the early 90s--I was in Houston. In Houston, the biggest hill I might hit is a speed bump. I'm not used to having to pedal up-hill. My God, my legs hate me.
But I'm still going again tomorrow, damn it.
*Technically, it's the second time. I got in about two minutes of riding last Tuesday, before I blew out in inner tube. Seems I didn't pay close enough attention when I bought the bike. The tires it came with actually have a max load printed on them, and if I weighed under that max loud, I wouldn't be in such desperate need of exercise in the first place. :-/
