OK I'm Back (I hope)

All right it's a week past Labor Day but I am back. It's kinda disappointing how long it takes to get into shape versus how quickly one de-conditions. I knew I wouldn't be doing a 20 minute run but 4 minutes after I started out, I was walking. Such is life.
Good news is there is no pain. Today at least. My legs felt a little tight and unused to the activity. And, that, I expected. I also expected to run a little longer and farther. Looks like back to beginning. Hopefully it won't take 10 weeks to get where I was before. I hope the stretching and strengthening exercises pay off.
Gained back 6 of the 8 lbs. I had lost. Should have ridden the bike more or at least walked abit more. Oh well. Too many other things to attract my attention. Labor Day we went camping for the 2nd time this summer. Played tourist up in Mackinaw City. Got a new puppy to replace an old dog we have; who is still with us but not for long if she doesn't start making it outdoors to do her business. And just trying to get in as much summer activities as we can.
Haven't ridden the bike as much as I should have. I looked at new ones and to get something decent is going to run 300-500 dollars. I'm thinking a hydrid road type bike. Mainly pavement riding but still enough for off road when the urge strikes. We'll see. The area shops are having model close out sales and maybe I'll get lucky and find one.
Anyway will run for beer.
