My legs are destroyed.
Sunday 11:00 AM: jogged (Gallaway training method) a 4 mile route around southern Bay Farm Island with my wife.
Sunday 12:30 PM: Stretched lower body.
Sunday 5:00 PM: biked 4 miles to 24-Hour Fitness on a borrowed bike from theAcupunturist. The seat is hard as a rock and after a mile my ass was in so much pain that I could no longer sit on the seat. My legs are on fire and my quads felt like they were going to burst through my skin...yucky feeling.
Sunday 5:30 PM: circuit weight trained. 22 circuit sets to complete muscular failure.
Sunday 6:15 PM: stretched upper body.
Sunday 6:30 PM: got on theAcupunturist's bike and pedaled 2 miles when I realized that the rear tire was flat. Walked the remaining 2 miles. My legs are quivering and numb.
Sunday 11:30 PM: I fell asleep within minutes.
Monday 8:10 AM: I'm running late and had to jog 1.7 miles to the Harbor Bay Ferry Building in slacks and dress shoes. My feet hurt and I am soaked in sweat but arrive at the terminal in 16 minutes flat and was the last one on...so much for my shower. My legs are twitching uncontrollably.
Monday 4:35 PM: I will be taking Bart then the Ferry and will slowly walk the 1.7 miles home. Walking stairs is agonizing. I think I need crutches, or maybe a rolling walker at this point.

Don't know. My mechanic is slowly whittling down the possible problems. So far, he hasn't been able to figure it out. This is the same problem (boost flutter) that has plagued me since going stage III. I have to get it fixed before I sell the car next month. Also working on cleaning up the hood...I think I mentioned that boulder that fell off the cement truck and bounced off my hood. I'm looking at taking public transportation for at least the rest of the week.
so the biking thing is only temporary, or are you thinking about buying one for you and the wife?
My wife has one. She bought it new for about 200 bucks or so about 8 years ago, and she's ridden it about a dozen times max. I'm really thinking about getting a hybrid bike; a road and off-road kind. I don't even know what they're called. I have a budget of 250 bucks but I have no idea how much a bike that will get me.
Cyclo-cross is what you'll be looking for:
