You could say I suffer from "Adult Onset Athleticism." I was definitely NOT athletic as a child -- I was overweight and still don't weigh as much as I did when I was 12 years old! I also grew up in a very "traditional" family where the little girls were taught how to cook and clean house while the boys went out and played baseball or rode their horses or pretty much did as they pleased. To this day, my mom gushes when my 58-year-old brother washes a dish!

I was a runner before cycling and I still run. Hubby and I just bought bikes to have something we could do together, since his knees are shot and he doesn't run anymore. We didn't know we would like it as much as we do!
