Yesterday Bev and I had only enough time for our usual short ride down Oden's Mill Road and back home. Once we had returned, she said we won't have to baby sit tomorrow so we can do a longer ride. I was pleased and surprised! SO this morning we mounted up and rode down to Fayetteville and around Jimmy Pursell's farm over the route the bike race was to follow. That road was rather bumpy compared to our other roads we travel so I slowed down and took it easier. It was a little hillier than other roads we ride too. Bev kept commenting on how good she felt, how her legs weren't tired, and her backside wasn't getting as sore. Once we got back to the house, she said she finds she has better energy and less stiffness as a result of the exercise. This is all good news and just what I expected. If she weighs tomorrow and has made progress with weight loss, everything will fall into place. The problem lies with the change of weather and coming dark days. She will have to get into spin class and maintain what she has started. Who knows? She could make such wonderful progress she could be ahead of me in fitness by next spring!
