My current infatuation with my bicycle continues. I did a good brisk 12 miles in the morning yesterday, and then followed up with another 6-and-change with the family in the late afternoon. I did something nifty, too. I took the bike to the trail nearest my house and tried mountain biking (or trail biking, I guess). Whoa. It’s really difficult. Net result? It made me want to get off the bike and run, instead. I might have rekindled my interest in trail running.
Oh, and I found another nifty little system of trails. They don’t amount to much distance, but they’re super hilly and technical enough to give me some practice, so I think I could loop these into something with my other trails and have a general training system.
My legs are getting all these weird muscles that I don’t get normally when running. I have huge pieces in the backs (hamstrings) and these fatter slabs of quadriceps muscles, too. I guess that’s the result of all the power work on the bike. I’ll take ‘em. Stronger muscles are helpful for trail running.
I’m wearing my Life Is Good shirt today. Click the link to see the picture. : )
I hope your weekend is going well.
