Back from vacation and a 6-mile bike ride pulling my four-year-old nephew around Mackinaw Island and five rounds of golf were about as close as I got to exercise. Good thing was that I only crashed twice riding the bike and my nephew was completely unscathed; my right leg will have some nice bruises for a while though. For those of you wondering how you go about crashing on a bike, well, there's really no excuse. I haven't been on a bike for over twenty years and I had a an issue figuring out how to stop. My nephew was in something called a Weehoo and, beyond not really knowing how to stop in the first place, I vastly underestimated how much the Weehoo could throw off the equilibrium of the bike. Like I said, no good excuses and I got it figured out but it was pretty embarrassing. As my nephew said, "we got the falling, crashing spaceship." (That's what he and my niece were calling them)
Hips and abdomen are feeling good and I decided to go out for four miles today. I was way too excited and ended up averaging 9:33 pace for the run, but I was feeling good and happy afterward. Hopefully things continue to get better. I am starting my diet and am really planning on kicking things into high gear headed for my November Half.
