Beginning again

Apparently I have started back on a exercise kick..
Have I been depressed? I suspect but don't know.. I'd like to be happier, and my prior exercise and eating habits weren't supporting that goal.

Then I ran out of my cholesterol medication.. so I stepped up my exercise. First day: my normal 5 mi loop around Evergreen Valley College - except this time I'd note how long it took me to get up the creek trail.. 12 min.
Next day 10..

My bike ride to work was about 20 miles with some dicey freeway crossings unless I took the light rail. With the light rail the trip time was about 1:45. a bit long for a commute, and not that much actual riding.. I didn't ride much more often than every other week.

There was a route that I figured out that might be 2 miles shorter, but without any real opportunity for using the light rail at all..
I finally tried that one day when I needed to get my car repaired and I'd left the van at work when retrieving the car. 18 miles 1:20..
The next week I tried the trip both ways.. 1:10 time in.. and 1:25 home.. and some notes for the Bike to work day event the following week..
- But after getting home, I found out it was really the next day. - So I rode again. Got some advice about those tricky spots.. (mainly at the SJ Airport!)

I've ridden to work twice a week since. My best time so far (yesterday was 1:06 pedaling time).

today's exercise was:
20 min random level 12 @ 3mph on the treadmill at Bally's.. (I renewed my membership yesterday)
Strength training circuit.. (can I remember it all?)
then 15 min in the pool, and 5 in the hot tub..
Next bike day is Friday.
