Holy Recumbent Bike Batman!!!

It feels like my legs are 10 ton tree trunks. Coming down the stairs just now, I felt like my feet would plow right through the steps. Jeez! Needless to say, I just got off my new bike for my first real workout! I went 9 miles which added up to about 1/2 hour and it said 433 calories but I don't believe that. I did probably sweat out about 2 1/2 gallons of fluid but I have replaced that with water at this point. I didn't pedal too fast but I tried to vary my resistance a few times. The highest level is a 6 and after the program I had chosen cycled to level 6 twice, I had had enough and needed to stop the program I had set and do a manual thing. I need to remember to ease back into the workout thing and not over do it.

Needless to say, I am now smelling quite delicious and so will go soak in a nice hot tub with luxurious bubbles and read my new book...which reminds me...I have to update my "recent reads".

Later.
