Just Like Riding A Bike

Our tandem bike has spent at least the last couple of years resting in our recently vacated storage facility so when we took it out we promised ourselves we were either going to ride it or we were going to sell it.
Today was the day: Our first chance to head out for a ride.
We loved it, we missed it, we’ll do a lot more of it and this fall when we leave for the south we’ll be carrying it again.

New Shoes

It’s been at least a year since Marilyn and I have been for a run and I have the belly to prove it.

My son Darren and his wife Sherry run a bit and have been raving about their new Nike Free running shoes. I’ve been thinking for months I need to do something and maybe these new shoes would be the ticket to get me back at it. So a couple of weeks ago, in a true reversal of roles, Darren took me out to help me buy me a new  pair of shoes.

So if I have new shoes, then it’s only fair that Marilyn has new shoes. Yesterday morning, both proudly wearing our new skins, Mar & I headed out on a sort of run around the park. It felt good, we both enjoyed it and for our first trip out in over a year, we both did pretty good. Now we just have to get in the habit of doing it again and again.
