back on wheels

i haven't biked for almost a year. this morning, dearie and i got up at 5am and went out for a ride.

my legs felt much like 2 anvils..and climbing upslope was particularly challenging. it was pretty disheartening to realise how much bike fitness and handling skills i've lost.

if time permits, i would love to bike at least once a week to cross train between run training.

the feeling of the wind blowing against my face still feels great..like it always has.

with all the twisting in and out of the cleats, the top of my left foot is hurting again. icing it now as i type this entry.. hope to do a short 45mins run later this evening to complete the given workout for the week. =)

only 4 of us turned up for mr run yesterday..but i'm glad we did. the weather was marvelous.. and chatting along with isabel made time pass fast. we completed whatever was required, albeit going pretty slow. at the end of the run, we kind of concluded we still prefer running mr in the morning because it leaves us more time to do other things for the rest of the day.

the future of runfanatics seems a little uncertain.. and i'm a little worried how i can hold things together. starting something is always, it's the sustaining that's a challenge. i'm not sure how and where..but i was discussing with isabel that i hope we can gather a couple more committed runners to join the team. perhaps some working adults will be good to have..because in a way, age does affect maturity; maturity to commit and stay with it.

i'll try my best to do whatever i can. dearie told me this yesterday as i whined about it, "baby, don't worry. i'll definitely support you." thank you dearie. i know i can always count on you. well, even if no one turns up for training, that's fine. because we will still run anyway..right? =)
