What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Pedal Shopping

After yesterdays mishap, I needed to buy new pedals for my bike... and if anybody knows me, they know I hate shopping... for anything. If I absolutely, positively need something I'll go in to the store, buy it and get out. I'd rather shop online and order through the mail, it's so much more convenient... but that doesn't work if you need something right away. So off I went.

I decided I wanted a new type of pedal, which means I needed to buy new shoes also. The cycling shoes I had were meant for riding only, you couldn't really walk in them, they had the protruding cleats on the bottom of the very stiff carbon soles, so walking in them made it sound like you were tap dancing and it looked even worse... So now I have the Mountain Bike type shoes with the recessed cleats which are a lot better for my needs.

I didn't go for a ride today as it was getting too late, but I did ride up and down the block to make sure I can click in and out of the pedals when I need to... they're a little bit different than the other ones, but it didn't take me long to get used to clicking in and out. I guess you could say me & my pedals clicked right away... well almost right away.

In other news, there was no change in my weight this morning, but that's ok... the 4 lbs. I lost yesterday will keep me motivated for a few more days. I'll do my measurements when I get up tonight and update the stats on the right... it's been a long time since I did that... I knew I was slipping and didn't want to know how far.
Ok that's all for today... enjoy
