In keeping with the overall idea of the American Heart Association's Start! movement philosophy of becoming/remaining active, I registered us both for a fall cycling event. Ultimately our ultimate goal of course is to achieve a healthy lifestyle change. I'm especially excited since the event is sponsored by a group of cardiac survivors.
I began participating in cycling events shortly before I met my husband. We since participated together once (we did a half century). He was awesome (climbing steep rolling hills in 100 degree plus weather; me not so much!!). So, I am excited to try cycling again since running isn't recommended for me.
Likewise, the upcoming ride supports several cardiac efforts also. What better way to make sure we're working out regularly other than shelling out some money forcing us to prepare for the ride (yes, I admit, I need motivation as the days begin to grow shorter and I still try to find a routine that is both intersting and challenging). I am not doing the full century since there is no way I am physically able yet. My husband is signed up for the longer ride (the metric century)! Time to put up or shut up!!
