Crispy

It's a little crisp outside today. We just got through three days of rain, the leaves are changing, and there was a light dusting of snow on the high peaks. Fall is here.

I managed to get in a bicycle ride up Snowbowl Road on Saturday, in between showers. It's the first time I made the ride all the way up since 2021. Though it was slow, I consider this a win. My breathing was clear and easy but my legs kept cramping. I stopped to take in electrolytes multiple times.

I inherited excellent cardiovascular capacity from my Dad but in most other respects I'm not a good athlete. I nearly always run out of muscular strength before I run out of breath, even at high altitude. Most people can't say that and have trouble breathing first. I'm grateful for what I have.
