No bike pics unfortunately (the kid was getting really bored and acting up), but Red did get an unflattering one of me running . . . The fact that I am smiling at this point tells you I am insane. I think this stuff is fun!

The bike pad in my tri shorts is giving me an artifical camel toe in the sunlight

Yay Labrat!
Please do show the professional pics when done.

Of course I think you're mad. But I madly admire it too.

What is it with me? I read these things and start to get fired up and think "YEAH, I can do that!" but I never do. I was in track in HS, in fact our 2-mile relay team (still called that back then, hadn't fully gone to metric yet) held the school record for almost 20 years and I've always loved the feeling...so why do I only think about it now?

One of these days your inspiration will get through to me, Labrat, and I will be able to post progress.

In the meantime, I am a lazy dumbass.

Shawnee, start with just walking. Everyday get in a little walk. If running was in your past, pretty soon your body will want to ramp it up.
