biking - dark blue bike 19:44 [2] 4.36 mi (4:32 / mi) +84ft 4:27 / mi
A lovely late afternoon, tomorrow is supposed to be wet, so figured I might as well see what riding a bike was like. Been a while. Lubed the chain, checked to make sure I could unclip easily, tried a couple of circles up by the garage and it seemed OK, so off I went.
A little achy in the lower back, don't have much flexibility there -- when I bend over and let my arms hang as if I was trying to touch my toes, well, the fingertips just reach the bottom of my kneecaps. Go ahead, laugh, it's better than a couple of days ago.
Tried standing up and that actually was better, didn't hurt at all, except perhaps my poor quads, so feeble. Felt like I was on a serious climb and the vertical was only 40 feet. But still, the back felt fine. :-)
The PA told me on Tuesday, when I asked about riding, that I shouldn't go out and do like 10 miles all at once. Me chuckling to myself, of course, 10 miles is nothing. Today 4 miles seemed like plenty. And a note to Gail -- see, I took her advice. :-)
