You'll be doing distance in no time. Give yourself a break, you're riding a big bike with your kid on it as well. That's a lot of weight that gives you the impression that you're not making any progress. Take your husband's bike for a spin to see the difference.<br /><br />Hang in there, you're doing fine.<br /><br />Gerry :)Gerry Lauzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06895691996292579014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-74114744331955377482012-03-17T11:00:26.817-07:002012-03-17T11:00:26.817-07:00I reach back to get high fives and pounds from my ...I reach back to get high fives and pounds from my son in his peanut shell too. I usually do it if he is complaining but it always seems to make me feel better about being on the bike too.

But you do bring up a very good point- vitamins!! I have them all and to be honest I faithfully look at them at least once a day, but fall short of actually taking them. I guess that's another thing to work on:) Thank you for your kind words.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690091554153831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-86598051409334046922012-03-17T08:13:19.420-07:002012-03-17T08:13:19.420-07:00Maybe it was just in the air...or maybe its this d...Maybe it was just in the air...or maybe its this damp weather getting to my bones lol...glad to know I wasn't the only one!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690091554153831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-42825660431407215472012-03-17T03:20:07.037-07:002012-03-17T03:20:07.037-07:00Lindsay, we all have those days when cycling all o...Lindsay, we all have those days when cycling all of a sudden seems to be a real chore rather than fun. One day I'm out and life is good. The next day everything hurts and I wonder why I'm riding. But I think the more you ride the fewer those kind of days you'll have.CTQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459417543902182310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-42550445482781145492012-03-16T22:41:54.888-07:002012-03-16T22:41:54.888-07:00You're bound to have an off day once in a whil...You're bound to have an off day once in a while. Hint: with Jack and you on the bike are the tires a bit low? That can create a drag that feels like you forgot your Wheaties or whatever. <br />Speaking of whatever, my secret for cycling comes in the form of a vitamin. Centrum Performance. B12 and Ginseng in just the right amounts for good clean feeling energy. I'll be 60 next year and I still ride like I'm 18.<br />Keep it up Lindsay, love reading your blog.ZAPPDOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682925096049419515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-39690941412978170372012-03-16T22:23:39.305-07:002012-03-16T22:23:39.305-07:00I had a similar feeling while I was riding today. ...I had a similar feeling while I was riding today. Like it was more difficult than usual. I even looked down at my back tire a couple times to see if it was low. Maybe it was the wind or maybe gravity was just working better today. :)Luke Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465698399434638360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-38506346359868513572012-03-16T22:12:58.623-07:002012-03-16T22:12:58.623-07:00Keenan- thank you, I sure hope so!Keenan- thank you, I sure hope so!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690091554153831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-46112614839489833332012-03-16T21:55:09.718-07:002012-03-16T21:55:09.718-07:00You are doing fine Lindsay!!
