Biking != Running

I've been biking ~ 1 hour, 5 days a week since March or April. I consider myself to be in "okay" shape.

Laura took me for a 30 minute run on Sunday and I am so sore. Biking is sooo different than running it's not funny at all. My legs are killing me yesterday and today. Oie.

I don't get it. Biking seems to be all about the legs and running seems to be about breathing. Why are my legs so sore??? Oie. This just sucks because I know I want to start running a lot more, especially with the weather getting colder and the opportunity to bike will go away with the snow.

No exercise seems to prepare you for another one. They all seem to use their own set of muscles. Now I think I just have to figure out 3 or 4 different things that I can do often that will help me stay in shape.

  1. I've been doing yoga for 4 months and it's fantastic, though not cardio.

  2. I never thought of you as a yoga type-a-guy. What kind of yoga?

  3. I'm duck-typed like Ruby: how and when I quack changes at runtime. :)
