Birthday

Not that I "celebrate" birthdays anymore, but I was 56 on Friday. As I take physical inventory I have a dodgey right hamstring, a dodgey groin muscle an eye infection and I need eye surgery to drill holes in my eyes to relieve pressure that may cause glaucoma in the future. Wonderful. But hey, why complain.

I rode for an hour this morning, doing a slightly faster 16 mph ride with new friend I met out on the road a few weeks ago, by luck -- which is how I meet most fellow bikers.

And I even decided to weigh myself after biking 4 times this week. I weigh 166, which is the heaviest I have weighed in 38 years. I am usually at 160 in the winter and 155 in the summer, so I have a ways to go.
