Long bike ride

I DID IT!! I DID IT!!! I went 2 laps around, completed 10 miles on the bike today. YAY!!!!! So, I'm a little excited about it, so shoot me:) I wish I could find a flatter place to train. The park has no fewer than 5 hills from start to finish. The first one is a doozy. I hate it, that's why I park by it and go that direction first to get it over with, and now I have to do it twice. Ugh. But I did it, I managed to remember that water bottle, which I was grateful for during that second lap. I remembered to screw on the arm bar thingy, although it wasn't quite tight enough and kept moving around on me. Will have to work on that later in the week. I never realized how much I depend on my hands and arms for coordination on the bike. I must say, I don't have very good balance on a bike. Scary, when you are on the road with cars!!!!! Anyway, I'm going to have to work on the leaning thing. Once I put my elbows on the handlebars I start to weave. I need to work on keeping it steady. I have 2 1/2 months to work on that. I'll be doing that, cause my wrists HURT. I have gotten better at not leaning on them soo much and it has helped, but I still lean, so I still hurt. My tailbone is still protesting the longer trip around the park. ouch. nothing like trying to sit during the day when you have a sore tailbone. oh, what fun!
