Trekkin'
No, it's not Trekkin' as in the Star Trek series (ewww). It's Trekkin' as in a Trek 4500! My recent venture into exploring freelance employment has been interesting and a lot of work, but I finally cashed in the fruits of my labor and bought a mountain bike.
It has been around 18 years since I rode a bike with any real frequency and nearly as many years since I plopped down in front of a computer. Now, I battle 5-degree grades with copious amounts of sweat and hyperventilation. I've been rather lucky in that the weather has cooperated such that in the thirteen days that since its purchase, I've gotten to ride the bike for eleven days.
Apart from the effects of the sudden and drastic change in personal activity level, it's been a good investment. I think the diameter of my thighs have already grown 1/3 of an inch. Gee, that's what muscle tone was like--I'd forgotten. :)
Anyway, I hope you have (or had) a pleasant turkey day. Gobble, gobble!
