Oof.

I'm not sure if it was:
A) I've gained 20 pounds since I last biked.
B) I've lost a lot of leg muscle since I last biked.
C) I was having my asthma issues for the first half of the ride due to taking my inhaler too late.
D) I was riding on dirt/gravel paths
E) My rear brake pad was riding against my tire
or F) All of the above...

But holy shit that was a hard ride into work today. My first bike ride of the year/first major ride since breaking my ankle. 10.5 miles along the Bayshore from Monta Loma to Alviso.

Absolutely gorgeous path... But quite challenging. I was struggling to maintain 10 miles an hour while on the trail, and found myself wanting to shift to a gear in between 1st and 2nd, as 2nd was nearly too tough for me, but 1st on my bike is a huge jump down to the point where I barely had any resistance.

We'll see how well I do on the return path.

Oh, also... ZOMG FRIZZY HAIR. Taking wet hair out into the world and sweating all over it while wearing a helmet is NOT the best way to make your hair appear nice. I'm going in on Saturday to get my hair repaired. oy

[livejournal.com profile] chirik re-did my hair last night. I like how it turned out:

From Hair at Midsummer


The dye is actually still rinsing out, so the purple will become lighter over the next few days. But I'm liking it LOTS.

Just had to *SQUEEE* about the fact that I'm wearing a pony tail today!

I've been consciously wishing for one of these since early college!

And I have one today!

WHEEEEE!!!!!
