Rode today.

The last three mornings have gone amazingly smoothly with the kids. Waiting for the other shoe to drop

Yesterday was six years since my open heart surgery

I do 40 minutes minimum and possibly 50 which really cuts into my time in the morning and reminds me how bike commuting to and from work gives me 80 minutes of bike time a day for only 30 more minutes than it would take me to drive.
I had to adapt my pedaling style when I used a recumbent, which I bought before the surgery and used for a few months after. I put my arch on the spindles and made the boom shorter. If I put my ball on the spindle and make my legs go as long as on a DF then I'd drop my ankles and get knee pain.
