Wow. I FAIL.

So the 'point' of my bike ride was to go to the PO and get some stamps... it was supposed to be 6 miles round trip. Shore road is much more punishing than I thought... so at Ft Williams I stopped for about 3 minutes, stretched again, and got on my bike and hoofed it. I thought I had a mile or more to go to see the PO, next thing I know I'm up in ( Read more... )

Well, you know a little bit more about your biking limits now at least :)

Yeah, and the funny thing is, it's as it's always been for me- my legs get tired before my lungs do O_o But never once did I get off and walk it up the hills. Omg, how humiliating that would be.

I can feel now that I'm probably going to be sore tomorrow. Which is fine, tomorrow is my upper body work out :D

Do your legs actually get tired, or do the burn? If they burn, foods with high potassium content can help you avoid being so sore the next day. Eat bananas, green peppers, etc. :)

Tired, like I feel like I'm going to flop after I get to the top of the hill from peddling hard :) With everything there's some muscle burn, but in this case mostly tired. It's funny, before you brought that up I never thought about the effect potassium might have on me ~during~ exercise.
I looooove green peppers. I eat them in a lot of stuff. I take potassium vitamins occasionally during the week, along with fish oil and calcium. I just added glocosamine(?) to the regimen.
