30 minutes a day

give yourself 30 minutes a day. 30 minutes to do something... outside. walk, jog, run, bike, tend to your garden, do some yard work, admire the trees, the sunrise, the sunset, the clouds. just be outside and breathe the fresh air.

my 30 minutes a day is to have my daily jog, warmup and cooldown included (and i hope i can stay with it).

what is your 30 minutes?

ss on 6 mile run

last sunday, we went on our usual weekend mtb ride. but this time i used my old-specialized-converted-to-ss instead of my regular fs bike. the reason? we were going to go to 6 mile run park, a fast and winding singletrack trail but no major climbs, and i said to myself - time to test my old hardtail after its conversion to ss (i had it converted to ss last year but never really got a chance to ride it in a real mtb trail). wow! it was more than just fun experience. i really enjoyed it! it was fast, no messing around with gears, pure biking bliss. now i'm thinking of getting another bike - a 29er ss, either a steel hardtail or a full suspension one.

dang, another bike. let's see...
