    a friend loaned me some videos, "power 90". i'm going to figure out which ones i want to use and work them into my routine for the next month. 

    god news. i also bought a used mountain bike from a guy in the bike group. now i can stop borrowing my husband's bike when i go out. i already have plans to replace the seat for a more comfortable seat. later i will try clips on the pedal, that still scares me too much. the guy  also threw in his old road bike because he is moving and can't take it with him. my german friend, was walking by, and saw me buying the bikes and said, "everyone needs 3 bikes. one for everyday, one for mountain/trail bike, one for road bike". she obviously loves biking, and is the best female cyclist i know. and now i have my cruiser bike for everyday errands around town, my mountain bike and my road bike that i will soon learn how to use (hopefully). i have to admit that i never ridden a road bike before and  it scared me to ride it home. not a good idea with jeans on, i could barely bend over to ride the bike properly. it will take time to get use to.

    oooohhh!!! you have a road bike!!! That made me smile :) You'll get used to it and you'll love it. You'll get on your cruiser to get groceries and sigh from the 'drag' you're getting :)

    Nice job on the workouts this week! I hope you are feeling better - at least the workouts seem to reflect it.

    Two bikes for the price of one! That's a Hansing deal if I've ever heard of one :-)

    Nice workout miles this week. You'll have great success this summer!
