I am lovin this beautiful weather, that I promise you! I have been doing a bit of biking since the warm front came through, and it has reminded me how much I enjoy riding a bike. I am also promoting for my work Nation Ride you Bike to Work Day and the combination of the two has gotten me motivated to bike more. I remember the summer we tried to drive as little as possible. Does anyone remember this? Chris was home from work all summer with a shoulder injury so we decided to track our gas usage and bike to as many places as possible. Every Saturday we biked downtown to market, we biked the bikes to and from school, we biked to the grocery store even. It was pretty amazing, and this was back in the day when Bren was in bike trailer so we were hauling him around. Granted it was nice to have the trailer because you could put your groceries right in the trunk of it, but it was heavy!
I want to try something similar this spring. It isn't feasible to bike Bren to school because it is in a different town, and there is a time frame to consider there, but perhaps we need to go back to biking instead of driving on all the little trips. I'm game. I just need to drop my bike off for a spring tune up and I am ready to roll.
*Ride your bike to work day is Friday May 21, 2010 by the way!
I swam 2600 meters Monday night and it was killer, but in a good way. I need to lift real quick tonight after soccer and I should be set on lifting for the week. I am not going to swim tonight because we have soccer for B and volleyball for P, and that is enough for me. The pool is closed all next week so I am going to try to get to the Christian Family Center to swim a few night, any takers on joining me? It might actually be fun.
I am headed out to run in a few minutes, the day is too pretty to not to, right?
The Acres 5K is coming up..... The question is, will I be ready to NOT embarrass myself??
