Afternoon Exercise

Well, I got out for the first bike ride today. My partner and I took off for a short ride around our neighbourhood. The ride is hopefully the first of many and we did enjoy it. The new bike went well and all equipment was functioning as it should. It was a bit of shock to the legs and right after the ride they felt a bit tight. We cycled on the road around our suburb for about half an hour at a light pace, but my partner felt she had had enough, and by the time we got home, I know I had.

It was just what I needed to blow out a few of the cobwebs. Set me up for the rest of the day and I have manged to maintain the diet. I'm really looking forward to hitting the gym tomorrow for the second training session.

My partner and I have also decided to take part in the City to Surf event in Sydney in four weeks time. We have discussed it and decided that this would be the first fitness goal. The distance is only 12 kms but apparently it is a fairly challenging course. If you'd like to check it out, click here. We're looking forward to it and at this stage have set ourselves the goal of walking the race course to Bondi Beach and making a day of it together. It should be fun, crowded, and a bit of a challenge. It will give us something to work towards, and hopefully provide me with even more motivation to keep up with the fitness. All is going well so far. Long may it last.
