The Hard Ride

Yesterday Sue and I went to the gym to do the lower-body workout. I felt strong the whole time, until jump squats. I could totally feel the tortellini I'd had for lunch.
I had been thinking about riding my bike home from work, and the circumstances worked out right last night for it. So, even though my legs were well-trained already, I loaded up my backback with my laptop, and started for home.
It's only about 10 miles, but some of the hills are just rough. Especially when you're carrying 20 pounds on your back. But I made it (in about 38 minutes), so I know I'm just getting stronger.
