Pedal Pushing

I went and did it...

I invested in a bike,

and helmet,

and pocket holder,

and a couple of other accessories that were just for fun.

Now understand that as an ED doc,

I see a lot of the bad that can happen when you're out riding...

But, I also understand the health benefits

of getting off your butt and doing something...

So I am...

Today, my first 5.6 mile foray took along 

the American River Bike Trail

which has some 30+ miles of trails...

I thought I was going to puke my guts out after 

the first hill just getting to this point...

We'll just work our way up slowly, shall we...?

A Marvelous Voyage

I know I haven't written in a while.  You see, I took two weeks off work and went on a cruise across the Panama Canal.  From Miami to Los Angeles.  I had to work before the cruise to make up for the time I would be gone, and coming home, I had to jump back into work to make up for the time I missed.   But, I digress...

I thought I would share a few of the over 1500 photos and videos we took while on the trip.  I have some free time at the end of the month, so I will have a movie to go along with this, but for now, enjoy the scenery... My husband and I sure did...

Our room steward made towel animals every evening... fun trying to guess what he was going to do next...
