Are you due for a new bike helmet? Best investment you can make. Remember, most helmets are certified for only a single accident.

Register for a spring 5k or 10k road race to help motivate yourself. Start with a simple training plan that allows you to add walking or running mileage slowly (1-2 miles per week), or look into getting your own personal training plan written for you (UW Health Sports Medicine offers individualized coaching sessions)
