Today, I ride!
Nathan Powell is turning into a maverick. I should take up smoking so I can quit and become a maverick.
As it is, even though![[info]](http://www.openweblog.com/img/userinfo.gif)
dvfmama likes running, I can't stand it. I'm way too self-aware, for one thing and, for another, I hate it.
Still, I've gotta drop another 10 or 20 pounds before the year is out. And I need to make sure I'm doing something about my blood pressure. I found some BP and weight readings from four years ago — before I gained about 40 pounds — and I had some very healthy readings. I hope to get back to that within the next year.
My exercise of choice is cycling. Given my “large” frame, this NYT article really helps me understand why cycling is such a good fit for me: anybody can do it! Well, that and you don't have to be a string-bean to be a good cyclist. And I'm past 32, so I'm not gonna even fantasize about being a professional.

Good for you
And while quitting smoking has been a catalyst for change for me, I don't recommend anyone take it up :) I have found that facing an addiction is a royal pain in the backside.
I hope you get loads of enjoyment out of your bike and I am glad it's finally fixed for you!
Good luck to you! -- Nathan
