Cycling update & MUNI
Really been lagging on the cycling front. I mean I've been keeping up with the spinning classes and spend some serious time in the gym spinning and lifting weights but Heather and I rode on Sunday and although it wasn't a rough ride, I felt it some afterwards. I think it's safe to say that spinning and weight lifting is helping keeping my metabolism up (caloric burn rate over time) and slightly helping my endurance it's just not cutting it in terms of time on the bike.
The other day I was on Muni on the way to Heather's house, looked at my watch and noticed it was approaching 6 PM. I then noticed one very important observation....it wasn't dark yet! One more month and there may be enough light in the afternoon that if I can work it out to get here earlier and get home and on the bike by 5 I can easily get at least an hour in before it starts to get really dark. Although spinning is great, it's just not the same.
This weekend is rainy so any weekend plans I would have liked to make for cycling are 'kaput' since I just don't ride in rain.
MUNI
Today's muni ride was crazy. As Heather stated, "It's a Muni meltdown". I waited 15 minutes at the stop on Judah in the Sunset. WHen it arrived it was so crammed I couldn't get in anywhere. Doors close and I have to wait another 15 minutes and almost didn't make it into the next train. When I did, I was crammed like Sardines all the way to Montgomery street exit which is one stop before Embarcedero (mine). What a mess. In the past it hasn't been this bad, I don't what was up with today's commute but it took WAY longer to get to work. I wish I stayed in bed.
