I just biked 2.82 miles on a trail with HILLS.

I've probably mentioned here before but I live right near a jogging/biking trail (I mean, it literally runs past my apartment.) In one direction the trail is longer and very hilly (nothing huge but a lot of up and down hills and it's a windy trail through mostly woods). The other direction is mostly flat. Last time I biked I went the flat way (as last month I couldn't even handle the flat.)

Today, I figured what the hell and I'd try the hilly way since I figured I didn't have to go to the entire end of the trail. I wasn't fast but I was pretty much able to make it UP all the hills (albeit glacially) and also only had to pause twice to breathe and see how far I'd gone. (I use My Tracks on my droid - I highly recommend it.)

Anyway, I went 2.82 miles overall which is awesome considering the hills (I'm obviously much faster on flatter surfaces). I WILL be able to bike to work this fall. (Especially as the way to get there is almost entirely flat). The new seat I picked up seems to be working well enough for now. If I get really into biking, I might spring for a Trek when I get to my 50 pound lost milestone. (Although at the rate I'm going this week, I might need another two months to get to the iPod and 25 pounds lost milestone.)
