On a Bicycle built for two.....kinda

So it has been almost a whole year and about 50 pounds since I was last on a bike.  So being the brave soul I am , I asked my three year old if she wanted to go on a bike ride with me...on my bike.  Well you would think I told her we were going to Disneyworld or something.  She was dancing around me laughing with delight.  I should have known right then and there that this was going to be.....totally awesome!!!!  I feel tired but exhilarated all at the same time.  I sooo missed doing things like this.  I used to go to the gym at least five times a week sometime doing two or more classes.  I forget when I am not exercising the doing physical things feel soooo good.  They are worth the effort.  Admittedly I moderated my efforts somewhat knowing that it would take more time to recover than normal due to the lack of instant energy.  But all in all I feel pretty darned good.  I can tell you though, it ain't easy riding a bike with a three and a half year old riding with you.  She isn't quite 40 pounds yet but she's close enough.  It took some effort to get going again when i stopped to cross the street.  I kept it easy though.  I chatted with my girl the whole way and didn't really lose my breath.  i know from previous experience and through the suggestion of my coach not to push it this first week but it was just tooooo beautiful to not go for a bike ride.  Have a peachy night!!
