tuesday in the Park

after the 3 mile run tonight i felt like i could keep going. i've never actually liked running. even when i trained for the vancouver marathon a few years ago, i wasn't really a runner. but now i seem to actually be enjoying it. doing the run with hundreds of others is helping. there's always someone to talk to during the run. i want to work on my speed but right now i need to just get my cardio strength up. i'm starting to get into all of this. maybe i really can be a triathlete?? i still keep thinking about my bike. i'm starting to associate having the bike with having more freedom. i'm not sure how often i'll actually head out of the city on my own once i start to ride but the idea of leaving town and going anywhere is exciting. i'm realizing how many friends i have who ride and who want to ride with me. i have a feeling that i'm going to be hooked on that part of it. i just spent way too long on the REI website looking at gear to order only to decide that i'd wait until after i buy the bike and shoes and figure out what else i need. this whole thing is quite an investment. but after my dad's heart attack i realize how important it is to invest in my health now. want to go for a ride anyone??
