Runner does not equal biker

My route to the hospital is just straight down two roads.  No big deal right?  No more than 2 miles.  I can run five no problem now, and I’ve run way more in the past.  Biking two miles is a piece of cake! 

Nope.  I stand radically corrected.  The lactic acid really builds up on my legs.  I’m so happy when I get to a red light and when I stop, I’m gasping for air.

So I suck at biking, but I’m really looking forward to getting better.  I even mounted a lock bracket on my bike today so that I don’t have to carry the heavy lock in my bag.  (Today I almost fell over as my bag shifted on my back, putting my center of gravity very off center.)

I also wear a helmet.  Almost forgot that in the OR locker room today.  Had to go back and get it, bc it’s just totally uncool to not be protected like that.  And I am so cool that I was so happy to see an arrow on the inside of the helmet bc I couldn’t figure out which way was front and back.  Learn some thing new everyday.
