Quest: Bike Tires

After waking up, getting dressed, making a play list, letting Juneau in and out, I finally made it out the door to get my tires filled. It was a pain to dig it out of the garage. Secretly I was hoping the tires didn't lose any air while the lived in my backyard all last year. Haha, nope!

I tried to get out early-ish this morning. According to the weather report, it was supposed to get up in the 80s. It seemed like a better idea to get there and back before the heat of the day. I'm glad I did! It was still kind of toasty outside with the sun beating down on me. When I finally made it to the gas station, I found their air hose was out of order. The clerk pointed me to the fly store/gas station I had just walked by. After waiting in line for awhile, the clerk told me that they had a free air pump around the corner. Victory!

Headed home to relax in the less-than-hot-outside environment. After making it across the major street in this part of town (actually it is a highway), I decided it was a good idea to hop on my bike and pedal home. Haha, right! They say you never forget how to ride a bike. Well, the balance isn't forgotten, but everything else. For some reason I couldn't turn the damn bike. I don't know if it is something wrong with it, or if it was just my out-of-date biking skills. Needless to say, I ended up walking home.

I'm thinking that I'll head out tomorrow and try riding around the block a few times. Here's hoping nothing is wrong with the bike.

Goals 8/1 - 8/7:

• Get my bike tires filled
• Start riding my bike again (start slow. 7mi is unreasonable!*)/get Juneau used to walking with a bike so she can join me later
  
• Walk Juneau down to the mail box everyday -- working on "heel"
• Walking with hubby and Juneau in the park Friday evening (I hope to make this more of a several-times-a-week occurrence)
• Try one of my other Pilates DVDs, and try the accelerated fat burning workout
• Find time for both yoga and DDR
• Figure out the rec center drama (I'm tempted just to get a membership and go by myself)
• Take some time for just me -- reading book, playing video games, etc.
  

*I used to ride by bike 7mi/day. I cannot do that anymore :(
