HOURS at the gym & the year's first bike ride

I took full advantage of my free trial at NYSC...spent about 4 hours there. And to add to the exercise theme of my day...I rode my bike there and back...my first bike ride of the year!! I must say, the biking has become...like so much else in my life...tiring. Literally tiring. I have zero patience for hills on a bike...i'd rather be walking. Give me a bike at the beach or along any level elevation...otherwise, fuck it. Having said that, I actually rode the steady incline uphill without walking the bike at all...demonstrating that my legs are indeed stronger. Last year, I rarely managed that. It was another balmy May day...high 80s...glorious! I'm also happy to report that I skirted yet another financial nightmare today. Just wish I'd cleared up the matter before the weekend, so I wasn't to some degree worrying about it throughout the holiday. But I kept my panic in check...progress. Well, i'm thoroughly exhausted now. It'll be an "early" bedtime...2:45am-ish.
