Didn’t think I was gonna get out today, I was super exhausted and pretty unmotivated. Then The Other offered to come with me and it changed everything. I am excited we got to ride together and enjoy this beautiful Sunday and it really helped me get over the slacker-slump. It was a shorter ride but the point is we still got out there and did it. I am looking forward to a break tomorrow and then jumping right back in the saddle on Tuesday.

I had a horrible migraine most of the day so I had taken a lot of pills, including my abortive, before this ride. Even though I gave myself an hour before exercising I think it still affected me. The first half of the ride was good, so good that I decided to explore a little around Independence Grove. But those 2 extra miles about killed me!! I almost gave up at one point (and maybe I should have but I’m pretty stubborn) and called for a ride because I wasn’t thinking coherently. The only reason I didn’t is because when I was thinking of what to say when I called someone the only thing I could think of was “chocolate bunny” and I didn’t think that would make sense! 🙂 So this ride was a bit slower than anticipated but I finished it and also have a new route around the park. Overall the day was beautiful, and I am happy I went out despite the challenges.

So close to 10 miles arrrrgh! Oh well, next time! As of this post I have 628.20 lifetime miles. Which I think is pretty great. However, in almost those miles of forest and country riding I have yet to find a kitten. I just assumed by this point I would have found at least 1 forest kitten. Does anyone have stats on how many miles before your first kitten?

Don’t usually ride on Mondays but got home a little earlier from work today so had a good opportunity. First couple miles were rough, as usual, but my warm-ups are getting faster. I was halfway through before I realized it. Still a ways to go to get in shape from last year but feeling improvement everything I ride is a great feeling.

New direction today and a bit longer ride ended up with me having a subpar performance. I guess that is too be expected since there is always a bit of adjustement when you take a new path or extend your ride but I didn’t expect it to be so big. Going to continue this way for the next week or two (Assuming its open) so I am excited to see how I will improve.

I went on the Thursday Chili Cruise sponsored by George Garner Cyclery. It was a casual ride of about 12 miles. Good pace (about 10 mph) so it was easy for all ages and riding levels. About 20 people came out for the ride and the weather was beautiful! We went on a route that I haven’t ridden before but was always wondering about. Although we didn’t finish the Middlefork Savannah loop it was really pretty and well kept. After we got back to the shop about 1/2 the group went out of dinner at Chili U. I had some delicious berries and crème with a hot tea. It was a perfect way to end the ride. Can’t wait until next time!

Well I did it! I was having a super stressful bad day and my stomach was upset but I did it! I went out and rode my bicycle and met my goal of riding every day of the holiday weekend! I am super proud of myself for getting out there even though it was the last thing I wanted to do. Yay!

I am setting a goal for myself that I will ride everyday over the long memorial day weekend. It may only be 3 days but this isn’t about me achieving a life goal or anything. It’s about making a commitment to myself and sticking to it even if there are no consequences for failure. The weather is supposed to be nice all weekend and I have no other plans so this should be a piece of cake. Wish me luck!
