I did some running with the soccer team last night. Not to far, but I used some muscles I hadn't for a while and could feel it a bit.

This morning I headed out for a bike ride. 30 minutes in I got a flat. :( I changed it and headed on then a few hundred yards away from my home I got another flat. :( :( I just walked my bike in from there.

Total riding time 65 minutes.

Total flat changing time 10 minutes

Total walking the bike in time 4 minutes

Total work out 79 minutes.

Was alomost late for work.

Two weekends ago I went for a ride with a tight timeframe to get home and off to Jacob's tee-ball game when I got a flat. It took me 15 minutes to change my flat and was the first time I ever actually did the rear tire while on a ride.

I feel for ya! 2 flats. That is one crazy morning. It sure is good to see you posting again! We are totally on for Friday morning. I am looking forward to getting back into riding with you again. Lets try not to get any flat tires though:) Let me know what time you want to ride.

How do you change flats so stinkin' quickly???

It's amazing what we feel when we try the things that used to come so easily to us as we age!!

I tried to do a back walk over the other day and seriously almost killed myself! It was SO SO SO not good!!!!! The kids and Ry got a good kick out of me looking like a complete fool though! I'm telling you, I wasn't even close!!! (And I honestly thought I was going to be able to do it!)

Smooth, thanks. I like the positive spin on my flat tires. :)

Tim, yep I figure anyone who has cycled enough has had a ride like that before.

Jeff, I'm glad I'm not the only one with bike tire issues. Mine was the front tire both times. I agree, back tires a way worse.

Blake, not flats is my new motto. Unfortunately I seem to get way too many.

Teena, unfortunately as I posted to Blake I get a lot of flats so I've gotten good at changing them. It used to take me much longer. And, yes we're getting older, but we can still do everything we used to be able to do though, right? :) Next time you try that back walk over have someone shoot some video of it so we can all enjoy.
