Happy Trails

We hit the trail tonight for some bike riding with DD, and wonder of wonders, I was able to keep up with my family! Of course, we stopped numerous times along the way, which undoubtedly helped old mama, but still. I finally experienced some of the euphoric feelings that runners are always raving about. Not enough to make me rave, but definitely enough to keep me from being sick.

I'm currently conducting an experiment to determine whether exercise will reduce or obliterate these terrible mood swings that attack from nowhere. I'll probably have to run many more miles to get conclusive results, so it's a win/win. The whole family has lost a few pounds, which is a good thing, since nutrition doesn't seem to be our strong point.
