Biking!!!

There are some days where I really love my body. Today was one of them!

Today I went biking for the first time in two years. And instead of doing a short ride, I did a long one, riding to the other end of town to pick up a vehicle. When I first started, I thought I was going to die; to start I had to go up a hill and I felt like I was going to have a hard time breathing. But once I got to the top it was pretty smooth sailing (thankfully the rest of the ride was mostly down hill!)

To make things even better, my glucose stayed relatively stable. I used my cross country skiing strategy and it worked perfectly! And this was after being low earlier in the evening (about two hours before riding).

I doubt I would've been able to bike back home because I was starting to feel sore in my legs and abs by the end of the ride. But successfully making it through a 45 minute bike ride after being off my bike for two years is still really awesome! I'm guessing I'll be a bit sore tomorrow, but that's totally worth it after my success today!!! :)

I'm hoping to get back out on my bike relatively soonish (maybe I'll be able to squeeze in a shorter ride on Saturday night? Otherwise it'll have to wait until next week). Wish me luck! ;)
