It took me a bit but, i finally hopped on the seat of my bike and took off. That's all it took to get me fired up again. I had to work the weekend and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. My friend Jennifer called and wanted me to ride to Iowa city with her. Damned i thought. I'd love to go. But, No, the hospital was calling me. How depressing. So i went on a 15 mile ride on Sunday and a 20 mile ride on Monday. I feel great. It sure beats going to the gym. Sun and fresh air. You can't beat it. I'm so glad Jen called. I'm happy she is getting into riding again. A bike buddy is a good thing to have. We will be able to ride together on weekends at least. We work different shifts.
I do love to ride solo also, NO radio, just the wind in my face and quiet. I solve all the worlds problems and blow off steam, while riding. I always hope no one sneaks up behind me. I'll be jabbering and holding 1-way conversations, cussing and yelling. But, i always feel so much better when I'm done.

cc, Glad to hear (well read) that the weather is now allowing you do things you enjoy. So I will just say "May all the roads you travel be smooth, and the hills small". Have fun. - G
Hey Sweetie!
I feel the same way, about horseback riding... I have gotten sooo fat, I don't ride... Poor Scout would have a fit if I tried to jump on him now... Oh my God... What a Funny, Funny image just blew through my brain... Oh poor old Scout! It was gret to see you and Bill, I was so stinkin' lethargic, from the 'crud' that I could hardly think straight! I've got more 'crud' comin' on... Man, I hate being sick, when the weather is so beautiful!!! I'm going to the Chicago Botanic Garden Show, with Peg, and Daughter, Liz, in the morn... Can't wait!
