65 Mins Bike (Push)



Went out on the bike...the longest I've ever been on the bike outdoors. This is a hilly area and a hilly course, went just under 12 miles according to the map, but the important part was it lasted more than an hour. Lotsa climbs...some ridiculous ones. Some great views. Finally learned to stand on the pedals during big hills. I'm such a moron.

It was great though, blasting through miles in like three minutes on the downhills. Really fun. Great work for the legs with no pressure on the feet/knees/etc. More than that, though, is just the change of pace. Biking is very different from running and it gives the brain a chance to recharge from trotting around all the time while still stimulating it. Glad I've worked this in.
