20 October 2008

So I thought of a new project, something I've seen elsewhere and found very intriguing.

On the 20th of each month I intend to take a picture of myself and post it here. In doing so I'll be able to see the changes in my appearance that would otherwise be unnoticed and unrecorded.

Why the 20th? It's my birthdate, which makes these intervals nice and regular.

Where the Birds Always Sing

I rode my bike to work today.

It was actually a lot easier than I anticipated, and quicker. The route I went by took me through the local regional park, a lot nicer than the roads I usually have to take in my truck. The hardest part was going up a hill, that with regularity and a bit more conditioning I'm sure will become easier.

The best part was it only took about half an hour, which is only about twice the time it takes to drive and park.

Movin' On

I went for my first substantial bike ride since moving home today.
It was good, though I can tell that I've lost some of my stamina over this hiatus.

This area is much more hilly so I'll probably end up stronger if I can keep riding regularly.

Hopefully I can convince myself to ride to work on Tuesday.
