Usually when I say I am going to do something I go right out and do it. Good or Bad…
This morning I was a bit frustrated that I still have not got my 48 hour miracle diet and that I had not yet bought a bicycle. I at least changed the first part of that this morning by going out and buying a bicycle. I had to drop off some mail and the post office is about 6 miles round trip so I usually use dropping off mail as an excuse to jog there.
Today I drove my trusty new bicycle to the post office and back. I did not appreciated just how hilly the road was when I was going about 40 miles and hour and almost got hit (or when I came close to running over a dog). I actually appreciated just how much those half mile + inclines were when I was stuck going up them…yuck.
I have a new respect for that jog to the post office after that bike ride.
One thing that really sucked about the bicycle is I have not rode one very far in years. It felt like wearing a football helmet for the first time or throwing on really strong glasses for the first time. In time it will feel better though. The hills around here are both dangerous and fun!
