7/5 Bike workout

    
     Didn't intend this as a real workout really, but thinking about it after I guess it ought to be logged.
I rode my old, half-working tank-like Raleigh Olympian ($15 Goodwill purchase several years ago) twice around my 4.5 mile home loop for fun. Later I was in town trying out some spiffy new bikes and all told I would guess I rode at least 20 miles today.

     Running is still on hold for now and biking seems a very good transitional substitute. Regular and variable physical motion and effort, cadence and form cues to focus on, and that magical regular exchange of oxygen that clears the mind and recharges mind and body.
Plus you get to go really fast sometimes.
