Long time, no blog . . .

So I have the shoes, I have the cleats, I have the pedals . . . all courtesy of my cousin Taylor and her pops, my uncle Bob. Now all I need to do is to install them and learn how to use them which I am sure will prove to be no small feat. I am fairly coordinated but it usually takes awhile for me to learn how to pull it together. So look for me to have some scraped up knees and mainly be riding in my driveway at least for this week.

I went for a run this AM which was fantastic, about 3.5 miles. It's beyond words beautiful today. I'm not much of a runner but boy I feel good now. I see how folks get addicted to running. I signed up for my first 5K in June and so I figure I ought to throw some cross training in so that I can make it the full distance . . . how many miles are in a 5K again? My anti-metric brain can't make the automatic conversion. What is that formula again . . . isn't something multiplied by 5/8ths or is that converting C to F. My poor math and science teachers would be disgusted.

Alright, I need to be outside during weather like this so I should sign off for now. Who knows, in Indiana, it could be snowing next week so we should enjoy this while we can. Of course, I'm going to be in ATL,GA this time next week for a conference so what do I care?
