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.

The war against fat

Today I rode my bike “to work”. At least, from the freeway to work, about 3miles. It’s a start.
The ride was actually too short, I didn’t really have a chance to get into a rhythm or get my heart pounding. So I’m looking for a bit of a longer “commute”. The morning air really felt great , and I felt like I was trucking along pretty good. It totally made me want to know how fast I was going though.
This reminds me that I need to get some pics of the machine up.

I am having a lot of thoughts right now. It’s hard to keep up. This is absolutely an off-topic post, just rambling, more of a personal thing.
I think I’ve become so overweight I can now begin to use the term morbidly as a modifier when describing my condition. I’d decided things where getting out of hand when I tipped 210. Recently the scale has crossed over to 230 and I had a bit of a crisis. That’s really out of hand. It’s absurd. I remember how difficult it was to get up to 160, lo these many years ago. I guess I’ve gotten older and completely instead of mostly sedentary.
