Coming Up for Air

Well, next Tuesday I will be venturing out for my first real ride of the year. I'll be meeting an old friend of mine at the trail... and neither of us is in the greatest of shape or so I gather. I usually ride with the Dirt Dads but because of my situation, I haven't been able to really get away and ride when they ride. And because of the crazy gas prices, I have to weigh the value of a ride to the cost to get to the trail. More often, I think I will be venturing to the nearby Kent Trails (paved path) on the road bike to buzz off a few miles. A little traffic on the way there, but once on the path, it is clear sailing for several miles. A top this, I also need to get back into running. I hope my meager eats will be able to sustain the training I plan on kicking off. I really want to be in shape again... though I am at a very respectable 161 pounds and 10% body fat, my heart rate is a bit high at 52 BPM resting and my endurance is non-existent. All this data is usually on my Fit, Fat or Happy site, but I haven't blogged there in quite a while.

Anyhow, I will give the bikes a once over and get them ready for a good season of rides.
