Wow...what a tiring day.

I had my normal rehab today. I started a little slow, but picked up at the end & finished another 5k (3 miles). I guess if I were smart, I'd actually have tracked the distance I ran in rehab...it would have made a better story wouldn't it? Duh!

Well, anyway, that is not what made me tired. What made me tired was the walk I took to meet the family for lunch...well, THAT didn't make me tired either actually.

What made me tired was the bike ride I took with my oldest in our new community. Now, understand, that was NOT an Iron man version of a bike ride. This was a pretty short ride, but it just seemed like it was all up hill (you know like how our parents had to walk to school in the snow).

We did 2/3 of the community &by the end of the 2nd hill my legs were DONE.

The nice part, other than spending time with my boy, was that my LEGS, and not my HEART, that were my limiting factor. That was a comforting thing.

So...I ran, I worked, and I rode a bike. That is sort of a triathlon...isn't it?

I can tell you that, not long ago, I would not have thought I could do 3 miles on a treadmill, much less adding a mile or so of a bike ride, much LESS having that ride be on the kind of hills we have around here.

That burn in my legs never felt so good.

Rehab officially ends soon, but I 0lan on using the facility for as long as I can. Remember, I am a year or less away from my first sprint triathlon... I gotta be ready.

Good night and God bless.
