Hell

Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a little.


I bought a bike. And a kid trailer thingy. Nate already had a bike that he bought a couple years ago. We decided to buy me one as well & 2 kid trailer thingy's to go on the back. He can pull the boys & I can pull Isabel.


I probably have not ridden a bike in close to 20 years. Like, really rode a bike. I'm getting use to it, but holy crap, biking ain't easy. I need to learn to use the gears properly. It doesn't help that I'm so out of shape & have what I call, "A triplet belly". Its the most disgusting thing ever & I'm gonna be honest folks, it gets in the way.


But, Nate & I thought this would be a good way to get in to a little bit of shape & the kids looovve it. I guess I thought we'd be riding next to Nate and the boys. Then reality set in; Nate's about 14 inches taller than me and he's a dude. Therefore, his biking is a bit faster than mine. I go about 2 blocks over & you hear me start saying, "When are we heading back!? I'm not going anymore!" Lord, I'm pathetic. Tonight I just told him to go whichever way he wanted. I knew there was no way that I was keeping up with him.


So I'm hoping this biking thing gets easier. I will say, it is fun to see the kids so excited.
