Preston has outgrown his bike seat, so two weeks ago I found a used bike trailer online. The lady selling the trailer made me a good deal because the cover was missing a there was a significant fabric tear. The trailer is 100% functional and it will be very useful for us!
Today I hooked up the trailer and rode to CVS, then to HEB for groceries. The round trip was a little over eight miles. The amount of groceries I purchased today would not have fit in my pannier bags. The trailer has already been put to good use!
My running has fallen so far back that I’m starting completely over. No kidding, I’m going to approach this like a brand-new-never-run-before athlete. Today I walked for twenty minutes, ran two minutes, then walked back home. My emphasis was on walking as fast as I could. The run was really short (obviously) and was uneventful.
Once home I lifted weights, did some push-ups, and started a pull-up regimen. I’m unable to do a pull-up, so I’m working on holding my body weight. Depressing as it is, I was only able to hold my own weight for 12-seconds. I’m not looking for an excuse, but my hands hurt more than anything else.

It's been so long between posts, I was wondering, "Did the LST hike Kill Bill?"

The thing that I find most inspiring about you is that you NEVER SAY DIE! Injuries, weight gain, major life stresses, crazy work schedule...you never let it keep you down for long. I SO admire you!
