It's Been a Long Time

Hey look! My old blog. And I figured out how to get back in. (Being a Technical Apprentice is brilliant, as it makes you think you now magically know all sorts of stuff that you never knew before you got a cool title, but more on that at another time.)

What an appropriate time to get back in here. You see, tomorrow begins training for Seattle to Portland with Team in Training (TNT). The short of it is that I will be riding 200 miles in two days this coming July. On the back of a tandem, of course. And though it may seem like I can just hang out back there and have a picnic, M refuses to do all the work so I have to help out quite a bit.

But that's jumping ahead. Best not to think about those 200 miles yet. Because 200 is a lot of miles. And will make my butt hurt. Also, the rest of me, I assume.

So for now: I will be meeting tomorrow with some members of my team at the unthinkable hour of 7 am, hooking my bike up to a trainer and pedaling my first few indoor miles in quite a long time.

Hope my recent foray into sweaty yoga and occasional gym attendance has been enough to maintain some level of fitness. Otherwise, I am in for quite a nasty surprise.
