joined a gym to keep up on the rehab. First day did about 2 miles (just a trial while the guy was showing me around), and the second time I went in I did 10 miles. (Plus I’ve been using the elliptical machine, too, after riding the bike.)

so:

52 + 2 + 10 = 64 miles to date.

I also bought a new bike helmet. My ex had my old one, and basically absconded with it for my son to use. Why we just couldn’t go in halves on a new helmet for the boy I’ll never know, but he has held my helmet captive for the last two years and gave me one of his old ones to use. Gee, thanks. So when I’m riding on the dirt fire road two weekends ago with My Man, it was fine on the way in, because the back end of that was uphill. But on the way out, we were fuh-LYING downhill. Holy SPOKES that was fun…except... my helmet kept flying back off of my head (even though the straps had been tightened). Really useful. So I forked out and got a new, well-fitting helmet in anticipation of more rides in the woods and maybe some rides in to work.

Hmmm, I think I may break 100 miles before the end of the year…
