I think I am going to be sore

I went to the little Y in B'tyne this morning/afternoon. I wanted to check out a new environment. I think it may be my new Saturday destination. Not too large. Not too crowded. Not too intimidating. Good mix of ages and sexes. Not too bad. And if you get on the right cardio equipment you can see town from where you are.
I did 9 miles on the stationary bike in 50 minutes. Not my best time. But given the fact I haven't really been on a bike since October - I'd say not too shabby. I would like to get faster than my average of 5 to 6 minute miles. That's where I was by last year's race.
I did a mile on the treadmill. Like a mini-brick. It took my about 18 minutes. Not my best time there either. I just wanted to work on the transition some.
And I am doing really well with the stretching. It is scary how my flexibility has vanished over the years. But it is coming back a little.
Overall 70 minutes of workout is pretty good for me.
Now I am off to soak in the tub while my roast cooks in the oven. I do need to run out and get some mixers for drinks. I will squeeze that in right before company arrives.
