That’s what I learned when I got into work from day #2 biking — you need not be a car to attract them!
Birds do not discriminate
Mission accomplished!
Today was the first day I rode my bike to work! It was freezing but, as Chuck (my coworker who inspired me to get a bike for commuting) and I agreed, it’s far better to ride in the cold as long as it’s DRY! And it was gorgeously clear today. Who cares if my fingers fall off from the cold? I gotta say, inhaling fresh air and moving is a WONDERFUL way to both start and wind down the otherwise-way-too-sedentary day!
10K has a whole new meaning
For me, 10K used to mean running a 6.1 mile race..now it means, walking 5 miles….I don’t think I’m there. And the interesting thing is: it’s been SO FREEING not to feel obligated to work out! So while I’m extraordinarily grateful for healing, it will soon eliminate the excuse I have for being sedentary and put the responsibility back on me. There are, however, worse problems to have for sure!
(by the way, my sister qualified for the Boston Marathon today – can’t I just glob on to her workouts for a while?)
