New workout

by Rick June 30, 2007

With my running days officially behind me, I’ve needed to come up with a good cardio workout that’s easy on my joints and that I can do outdoors for much of the year.  I do live in the Pacific Northwest, after all.  My next choice would be bicycling.  So, I decided to tune up my [...]
