Working out with Weights

I don't usually carry a laptop back and forth to the office. I'm fortunate to have a backup machine in case one of them is out of commission, but since the office machine was getting upgraded, I carried the home machine into the office. Along with the accessories, this was an extra 10-12 pounds. Noticeable, but not too bad.

On the way home, I brought the new laptop back home along with the old one. This pushed the extra weight over 20 lbs. I could not hold my cadence, but I still got a good workout. We'll find out tomorrow morning if I've achieved the right amount of soreness ;-).

Good number of commuters today but none joined me on the Wednesday Bike Train. I'm not running into anyone that I had ridden with during the fall, and only the guy on a fixie have I seen more than once. The 3rd Friday Commute is working much better so I may focus my energies on this Recreational Commute.
