Comments: So… Cycle University sent me a note today informing me that the indoor TT was cancelled because of lack of interest. Seems I'm the only person wanting to get in a good cycling workout on a Friday night? What a rip.

Not really knowing what to do but knowing I was not going to ride a trainer alone at home I figured why not try running again. Heck, it's only been one month since I have run even one step, what could be so hard? Jesus, I'm an idiot.

For the first 2.5 miles my core felt all tingly like I was about to get a side ache. And did I mention I was crawling along? Oh yes, I was. Definitely a shock to the old system.

It was sorta trippy running at night. I had to watch my footing at times and avoid things like curbs, piles of leaves, manhole covers and one fire hydrant that I saw only a split second before I nearly piled into it. At least I had on my reflective sash so that others could see me.

On the way home I got a little crazy and headed up the Howe Street stairs. That'll take the wind out of you. I had to walk for half a block after that but then slowly got going again.

At the end I actually felt okay. It felt like I was going super slow the whole time but that's all right I guess. What was I expecting, right? And hey, I got the workout in. That felt good.
Equipment: iPod, ridiculous feeling/looking reflective sash
