Each day the email inbox fills. Invitations, information, pictures, queries and spam. Once in a while the inbox turns into a treasure box. Today, someone sent me the link to a powerful video entitled Hold My Hand from the Arts in Context series. Health, family and the human spirit to overcome life's obstacles. When you have about 30 minutes, please watch the video: http://video.klru.tv/video/2339216831.
41.8 mph - officially the fastest I've moved on a bike for a long while. Yes, it was wind and hill assisted, but who cares. It was a lovely 25 mile ride with head winds on the way out. We were really looking forward to the return trip with tail winds only to find the wind swirled around on us. We had to work a little harder than expected but the good news is it finally felt like I was improving. Oh yeah! Back in action. It was a great ride yesterday. Thanks, Vicki.
Today, it was intervals in indoor cycling followed by a nice run with Bonnie along our greenbelt. We've progressed to a 7 minute run, 2 minute walk pattern that is only interrupted when our running companions Zoe (our golden retriever) and Maggie (Bonnie's springer mix) veer off course. I'm still experiencing heavy-thigh syndrome....you know, that feeling your thighs are wooden planks such that, however much you want to be a gazelle, you're really a plodding elephant. Still, much progress has been made from my days on the comfy couch. Thanks, Bonnie.
Bonnie also gets special thanks for giving Elise her old iPhone 4. Elise is estatic and I'm officially jealous. A quick trip to T-Mobile and multiple communications with Bonnie resulted in an activated iPhone for Elise, a new two year service agreement and, surprisingly, reduced costs for the plan. Anyone wanting to get rid of their old iPhone - you know that dusty old thing you aren't using since you've moved on to the iPhone 5 - I'll happy help you out. :) Yes, I'm ready to change and join the ranks of those with a....dare I say it ... a data plan.
