Two feet, not two wheels...

The weather wizard is not being kind to those of us who like to play outside but who also need to work during the day. The past couple of days have been a marvelous tease of spring-like weather, with temperatures in the low 50s. My bicycles keep telling me that they want to play outside, but my work days have been too long for that this week. Even with the sun shrinking to the horizon a good hour later than in the darkest depths of winter, I don't want to be out on the road on a bike after about 5:15. Call me scared, but I'd rather not risk narrow roads at dusk on my bike when other people are rushing toward home in their fossil-fuel-powered vehicles.

It was a good week for walking though, lit up with my flashing red & blue lights. I managed walks of around 2 hours (a half hour mid-day and another hour & a half in the early evening) on each of the last three days. And even though I would have loved to take advantage of that 50 degree weather and wander on two wheels, I'm happy with this week's walking sessions.
