Me, an athlete? Who would've thought?

Yep, I am cycling a lot nowadays. Riding from my home to the light rail station is a good 8 miles. I am working up to riding the entire way to work, about 14 miles. I ride that frequently now. And it is really getting easier. I was planning on doing the bike part of the Luna Bar Womens Triathlon (a friend asked me to do the ride portion, while she did the swim, and another person did the run). Unfortunately, it is the same weekend as a DMAT training down in southern CA I will be attending.

I like having the time to think to myself. The exercise gets my brain working, and I can problem solve a lot easier now... seriously!

Anyhow, here is a pic I took this morning of me in my biking attire. Yeah, it magnifies every flaw I have, but it is really comfortable! The shirt was given to me by one of my bosses, who is really revved that I am into cycling (She rides 22 miles each way to work daily! And enjoys the Death Ride, the Rubicon, the Tour de France (she rode the course last year for her vacation - not during the TdF, but after). Quite an inspiration for me!

Obviously, I am still losing weight. I had a period of time that I was gaining. It was frustrating, but then I started losing again. The thought is that I was building muscle, and the muscle is now burning more of the fat. Dunno. But I am glad to be losing again! Current weight: 249.0
