In my head, I plan to go for a ride tomorrow. In reality, the day is already really full: walk the dogs, get Lupine and TJ up and to school with breakfast in their bellies, lunch in their hands, and their teeth brushed, all by 8, do the dishes and vacuum up the floors, pick up Jaide at 1, pick up Lupine and TJ at 3, take Jaide and TJ to Layton to visit with their mother at 5, pick up Patty from the airport in Salt Lake City at 7:50, drive Jaide to Tremonton, then drive home to Loganistan, get Lupine and TJ to brush their teeth and go to bed, and then walk the dogs. Plenty of time to ride, no? 11 to 12:30 is wide open.
I used to be a cyclist. Now I don't have time, so I've become a runner (again). I used to do it, but in my old age (don't laugh dude) I actually have come to enjoy it even more. I've focused on lightweight shoes, toe/midfoot landings (ala "Born to Run", check it out from the library), and just enjoying the effort and being outside. With the different shoes and running style I've gone from 0 running to 5+ miles is less than a month with no pain (a bit of sore calves from landing on my forefoot) and at a reasonable pace. Tie on your running shoes, head out the door, and in 45 minutes you'll have a great workout.
