Biking.
Things that I knew about my daily bike rout:
It is about 16 miles all told.
It is partially pavement, partially dirt road with washboards heavy enough to rattle the fillings from my teeth.
It is emencely fun.
I always end up getting something to drink midway and drinking it on the way home (Usually organic lemonade).
I always end up staggering in at the end of it and collapsing on the couch for fifteen or so minutes.
It usually takes me about two hours.
Things that i did not know:
My daily bikeride uses up 2760 calories.
****
That's... more than I take in. By like a thousand calories. This is the third day I've been in shape and the weather has been permitting me to do it. I plan to do the same bikeride every day from now until I go back to school.
Why do I get the feeling I'm going to need a new belt by then?
****
In other news, I got a Belt-purse-sized adjustable crescent wrench today, which was the last piece of hardware in my portable bike repair kit. Now I just need a bottle of Tube Goop, and I'll have my absolute freedom.
