Interesting.....

I want to learn sign language.
I can teach how to stop your bike gracefully. (And not in the flying over the handlebars sort of way!)
I think you should set a goal to do at least one of them in the next year. The race?

Yep, maybe the race. I'm going to attempt to actually use the Couch to 5K app I added a few weeks ago--probably tomorrow morning I'll try day 1. I'm not sure running is a great idea for me because of knee trouble, but I'm not getting any younger and I figure I can at least try more than just a minute here, a minute there.

I gotcha. Wear a knee brace. I know that doesn't solve the issue but it does help. I am not allowed to run due to the hip but that is one thing I so wish I could do. So run for me! :) Wear good shoes, too. Good shoes are essential. :)

Well...I just did the couch 2 5K day one...and barely survived. I'm going to do it again tomorrow or Thursday before I move on to day 2.

I thought I was in better shape...it's a lot different running on the elliptical and running on actual pavement.

But I did not die!
