So of course the reason the ride in was so easy: it’s almost entirely a very slight downhill. If I remember my physics right, that means I had a lot of potential energy when I left the car. But it also means I had to do “work” to make up that potential energy on the way back. Ouch. Legs like lead the whole way. The incredible struggle to do something that should have been easy just reinforces my resolve to stop being completely weak and sedentary.
