New Gadgets

I ran out to the local bike store yesterday and purchased a set of lights for my bike. Now they are supposed to last around 60 hours on a set of AAA batteries. I haven't tested them out yet and I'll be sure to get back on here and let you know how it works out.
So why did I go out ant buy the latest "thing" for my bike - when I haven't really been that into riding in the past year? I'm back into it and plan on commuting to work at least twice a week. The bonus...from my home to office is only about 10 miles.
On another note I have been back in the gym and have started a dedicated running program. Or as much as I can on a mending ankle.
I surfed Fours this past weekend - it was the first time I've been on my board in about a year. So for the past few days my back and shoulders have been sore as all get out. But I loved every minute of it and all of the aches and pains have been worth it. I plan on getting in another session this coming weekend but, I haven't decided on the location yet. Any suggestions?

In a last minute gear buying frenzy before La Ruta last year, I bought the same front light, but never used it on my bike. Works great as a flashlight for my kids. I have a rear light I use on inclement weather solo rides. good safety tools.
