This past Wednesday, I received a pair of feet/pylons that can (and will be) bolted onto my running knees… What are they to be used for? Great question.
Cycling Feet/Pylons
Cycling
Yep… forreal. Gonna give it a shot. Spent some time last evening on the trainer trying to get one of my mom’s bikes set up in a way that would allow me to start riding. Didn’t go down as easily as one would have expected. Had to adjust the seat a fair amount before getting on the bike (on a seat that I’m pretty sure wasn’t designed for men to be seating on… very uncomfortable). Then the pedals were entirely too small for me, so we had to find another set and switch those out. Annnd then for one reason or another, I’m not able to even fully get the pedal around without having some starting momentum (IE physically manipulating my foot in a forward direction with one hand to get started). Not really sure about that one. But I’m gonna keep digging at it over the coming days. I’d really like to give the biking portion of the San Diego Triathlon a shot… that’s about 13 weeks from now. 44 miles is not a joke. Going to need to get really serious about it if I’m going to accomplish it. Not sure how it’s going to fit in with running, but I’m sure I can make both happen. In the same day, thirteen weeks from now? Woof. That’s gonna be tough. But I’m not afraid. What’s the worst that could happen? Fall? Hurt myself? Whatever. It can’t be that bad. I will do whatever it takes to make sure I succeed, one way or the other it’s going down.
Nub, meet concrete.
Elbow, you can meet the concrete as well.
These two were described in my last entry, I believe. Not too gnarly, but not pretty either.
Not enrolled for fall semester at the moment…Pretty sure my next step in developing my education/life will be getting my CNA, since actually getting into the Nursing program at SCC is looking more and more dim for the next year. CNA program at SCC is open entry/exit. It’s in the neighborhood of $575 without books, so hopefully I can conjure that up soon. Just seems like the next logical step at this point…Would be nice to have that ball rolling within the next month or so.
I’m gonna head out to the gym and give the elliptical and/or stationary bike a shot now. Let’s see how this goes. Hopefully better than last evening.
