60 Min -- BIKE (A) --168.5--

COMMONWEALTH -- Another Top Chef Wednesday spent pedaling in the living room. With Beck back at work, I have to make sure the wee one is off to the races herself before I can hop on the bike. So it takes a little planning.

This hour on the bike seemed much easier physically. I wonder if that was because I rode "smarter" or if I'm just developing a form and understanding the gearing a bit more. It seemed like I pushed hard from time to time (commercial breaks.) Lotsa sweat. Blew through my water bottle. Moved the dammm thing all the way across the living room (need to get little door stops to help hold the thing in place.)

Maggster loves the sound of the bike. It puts her right off to sleep. This is a pretty cool tradition. I get to watch a show I have fallen profoundly in love with, the kid gets some shuteye and my legs get a few miles tossed into them. Someday (playoffs? October?) maybe I can hit up a whole baseball game on that thing.

My ass needs some serious toughening up by then. Jeez bike seats don't give you much other than agony.
