So the downside to working scads (sp?) of overtime is that there is no time
for bikes and exercise, especially when the schedule takes you back and forth
from days to nights...12 hr shifts, sometimes three times during the same week.
There is no upside, unless you're my wife or kids.
After a total of 12 miles ridden in July and none so far in August, I finally got on my
Schwinn Airdyne last night and did 5+miles in 20 minutes at about 55 RPM. Not
much, but it's a restart. Hoping to make this a daily routine, again, building up to
one hour workouts or more. I'll get the bikes back out in September after we've dropped
our daughters off at their college dorms. Still dreaming of building up the stamina to take
a shot at a century before year-end. Gotta have a dream, right?
