OK, so I went on an over-ambitious bike ride on Sunday. I have't gone more than five miles in a day since I tweaked my knee in August 2007, but Sunday was such a great weather than I just kept going and going. My shoulders and wrists were hurting when i got home, and my legs were tired, but my knee never even gave me a twinge.

Of course, the next day I was a little sore. I biked to work anyway (just a couple of miles) to keep my muscles from stiffening up. But you know how they say it always hurts worst two days after hard exercise? Well, they aren't kidding. I'm not twenty years old anymore, more's the pity, and I don't bounce back from these things like I used to. But still, if this good weather keeps up, I'm going for another ride on Friday. Just not quite so far.

Other random news: I've been checking out Facebook, and liking it so far, though it's weird having friends from different parts of my life pulled together in one place. Not quite sure how I feel about that, but I'm sticking with it so far.
