This morning my legs wouldn't work. Maybe it was the long bike ride yesterday... :) So I TRIED to do 5 miles, but it was more of a run/walk. This evening I planned to ride my bike to the rec center for Zumba and Yoga, but once I arrived, there was a substitute teacher for Zumba, and I discovered that although I am not a "real" dancer, I must be some kind of a dance snob. I had to leave. Instead I did 40 minutes on the elliptical, just to kill time before yoga.
But the BEST part of my day was lunchtime, when my hubby took me to look at a used road bike, and it ended up being a really nice road bike in beautiful condition...an '05 Allez Comp Specialized road bike with an aluminum frame, carbon forks, stays, and seat post, brand new tires, serviced regularly and recently, ultegra and dur-ace components, etc. For cheap! And the other amazing thing is that the gal who owned it was exactly the same height as me, with the same length legs as me! She won several races on that bike, and treated it like a baby. Suffice it to say I brought home a "new" bike today! And I'm giddy with excitement to get to try it out (need pedals and shoes first). No more riding up the steep canyons on my $35.00 clearance mountain bike from Wally-world! What a happy day. |
