Getting out and about

I thought excersing was suppossed to give you more energy, well I've obviously been mislead because this morning i feel like crap.

I like to think i am fairly active although not as active as i should be, so in the last few weeks kayla and i have stepped it up a gear.

We went hiking on Mt Tam in Marin which was more like trailing running up and down a gorge than the gentle hike i was prepared for but that's another story... which I forgot to write about.

We joined the local gym, well kayla joined weeks ago and i joined it last weekend.

I have been out on my bike a lot more than normal, 50 miles in the last week on two rides, 10 miles midweek and a 40 mile ride yesterday which explains the sore limbs today. Some folks from work invited me to ride a local route that is called paradise loop, with a name like that I had expected it to be a gentle
ride stopping for coffee or maybe brunch along the route. I was wrong.

We met at the warming hut by the base of the golden gate bridge and the fact that several of my colleagues had shaved legs and were wearing team colors should of tipped me off that this was going to be a social ride at pace. I managed to stay just in contact for 40 miles but then I hit the wall hard and had to back of gracefully by catching the ferry home from Sausalito to San Francisco, next time I might be able to finish and I'll remember to put on some sunblock.
