| Day 16 You can't tell from the pic, but we're in a wild nor'easter. |
Of course we got a storm -- what's 30 Days of Biking without an April Nor'easter? I pulled the Schwinn out of the shed for a quickie ride to the beach. It has become my go-to bike in nasty weather for several reasons. One, it's a cool bike and it brightens up a gray day; Two, it's heavily rusted already, so it's not like I need to worry about it. Hahaha. The bike is a tank. To ride it requires muscles I no longer have. It has only one gear working -- hard -- and no brakes, although it's so hard to work up any speed on it, brakes aren't necessary. Maybe I'll get it fixed up someday... but probably not.

| Day 18 Ride to the track! The virtual Big House 5K (with Donna) |
I'm not yet back to running but registered for the Michigan Club Big House 5K with Donna back in January. At the time, it seemed like a good idea to have a goal post-knee surgery, but I haven't been able to get my act together. Still, with the Big House 5K being held virtually this year, I knew it was ok to walk this one. It was good to catch up with my sister -- masks and distancing aside.
