Confession
June 17, 2005 – 6:10 pmI have a … confession to make. I’ve had the first flutterings of a flirtation with … another distance sport. After my four-miler yesterday (which went fantastically well, incidentally - it seems that the heartrate blip I was worried about last weekend was just a blip after all, as I’ve been powering along much more efficiently all this week), I stopped by a local bike shop to have a look at some of their Fine Products™. I’ve been thinking about the need for cross-training, and I’ve known for a while that my favored non-running sports (squash and volleyball) are both less than ideal for endurance.
I’m about 90% sure I’m going to end up with a hybrid bike - good for commuting to work (even though it’s just a mile) and ok for the distances I’m planning on riding on my off days from running. I’m going to do a litle more test-riding this weekend, and hopefully I’ll be able to find something that speaks to me. New toys are fun!
