Kathleen's got a blog

Kathleen (my wife for those who don't know) is back to writing on her blog. She took a bunch of notes on our Honeymoon and is now sharing our experiences. This is as much for us to go back and read as it is for us to share what an awesome time we had.

Yoga and Riding

So last week I was offered someone elses spot in the Yoga class run in our office once a week. I have wanted to give it a try, so what better time than when its free, right? Well, now I'm hooked. Don't ask me what we did or what style. I just know it was a great workout. A lot of stretching and posing which worked the core and many other parts of the body. Yoga should compliment my cycling very well. It should and is already helping with the back pain I have been fighting for well over a year.

I'm finally doing some consistent riding. Nothing exciting, just an hour or two on the road bike at a time. I'm feeling better everytime I get back on the saddle. Once the trails start drying up, I look forward to a good season of mountain biking. I'm hoping this new plan of Yoga class once a week with some core work thrown in at home and consistent cycling can first bring me back to where I was before, and then make me stronger and most importantly, more healthy.

Road Riding

I feel like I'm starting all over from the beginning. I did one ride inside on the trainer this weekend and one ride out in the cold. It was nice to get out and hopefully I can find some consistency to my riding in the coming months. There's a lot of life changes on the horizon, moving and my son coming to live with us. Both very good changes I'm very excited about. Time to get into shape, get ready for the racing season and get out with the friends. All of which helps me deal with the everyday stress of this thing we call life.
