“Back in the saddle again.” – Gene Autry

Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast.  Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else.

I did it!  It has been nearly 11 months, but I got back on my bike again.

My husband switched out my pedals for me yesterday, taking off the clipless pedals I used for my 70.3 last year and putting my safer, regular pedals back on.  I’ve never understood why pedals that connect your feet to the pedal are called clipless.  I’m glad I didn’t have them on though.  As it was I almost fell over at the first stop sign.  It would have been a complete wipeout if I had the racing pedals on.

I got back on as my 50k training plan calls for cross training.  So, the bike is back in the rotation.

Although I wasn’t trying to ride fast, I was really slow.  I had an hour training session and didn’t even get to 10 miles.

My butt is a bit sore, but not as much as I would have expected.  I think my legs are going to be talking to me tomorrow though.

Thanks for joining me this week.  Be sure to check our show notes for links to inspiration items and …  don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
