Well-brushed teeth

I read this article over the weekend about how middle age is not too late to start exercising to get a healthier heart. The author of one of the three studies discussed said that people should think about exercise as part of their regular routine, like brushing their teeth.

While I missed the opportunity to get my 💖 road bike 🚴 out this weekend in the short thaw/brief respite from winter, I apparently have been exercising nearly as much as I have been brushing my teeth - Irish dance practice/rehearsal Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, topped off by visits to the gym Saturday and Sunday, and some vigorous shoveling of deep, wet snow tonight. It will be interesting to see whether any of this translates into better biking outcomes. At this point, I think if I got on my bike, I would inadvertently ride in circles. I have a sore left calf, a sore right knee, a sore right glute, and a sore left shoulder. What is up with my body mechanics? Whatever is up likely would translate into weird riding form - either because I'm lopsided to begin with or because I'm lopsided now.

One thing I apparently haven't been exercising is my fundraising muscles! I'm a bit behind and will need to get creative. 

I am contemplating letting people view embarrassing videos of me trying to dance on St. Patrick's Day in exchange for a donation to the MS Society. Maybe people would pay to NOT see me dance?

March 2017 - will we be snow-free this year?

p.s. I often look for Google Images to spice up my blog. Don't search there for photos using terms about bikes and teeth, by the way. You won't be able to unsee nasty mouths.
