cycling up that hill

yessirree... that was me yesterday.... trying to cycle my butt up that hill. i took the bike out of the shed for it's inaugural season ride over the weekend. i took a small jaunt on sunday - really small, just up and down the road... then i took it to the park on Monday. i did 4 miles - i KNOW pathetic... Tuesday my goal was to go for 6 but got sidetracked with swimming and mostly just sitting out in the sun and reading
Wednesday I worked a full day.
Thursday I went to KPs to ride with her - there was a mix up with Russell.. well not really a mix up but anyways she stayed in while i rode. the difference of riding in her neighborhood versus the park - HILLS. not as many hills as my neighborhood but hills none the less.
I ended up riding for 18 minutes. I suspected I did 2 miles and she confirmed that my distance was probably that.
Let me tell you those hills got me. I dont know if it was the vitamins, the heat, the hills or a combination of all three. But when I was done I could be found lying on her cold kitchen floor trying to regulate my body temperature. I hate that! I havent felt like that in a while. It's not the heat outside type of overheating. It is totally from within. Thankfully it passed quickly.
Then I went off to work.
Today is a full day off and we are going to attempt a bike and swim this morning. I may throw in a walk/run later today if possible.
Then Saturday and Sunday need to be hardcore workouts - swim.bike.run
I suspect I should go to the Y to get back into the swim of things. we shall see.
