My friend Courtney and I rode about 15 miles today and it was beautiful and breath taking! We had to show the streets signs of how far we went.
Lately I have been taking up bicycle riding again and have been loving every minute of it. I use to ride my bike every where about four years ago and as my body started to act crazy with me, I stopped riding my bike. I thought bike riding was going to be the last thing that my body was going to allow me to do, but I was WRONG! I have no joint or leg pain/discomfort and I actually feel amazing right after and even days after.
As those of you know I have had to give up quite a lot of my sports, especially the extreme ones, and that also meant giving up part of my soul. I have always been a super active, and when I say super I mean S-U-P-E-R active person. So, it was devastating learning that my body just can't do certain things anymore. I have been trying all kinds of things to start figuring exercise wise what I could do that wouldn't affect my condition...... well, bike riding wins the award! Yay! I still do Yoga also, but a much more toned down Yoga. I think I'm finally slowly dealing with my despair from having to release my business which entailed lots of hours of dance, and exercise. I'm finally starting to feel okay about it. So we will see what tomorrow brings! :)
So awesome! Wish I could be around to bike with you, but we will have to just encourage each other from hours away. Tomorrow I'm going to bike to a gym in town and see if they need a yoga sub, that seems like the best way to get back to it! :-D I'm scared though. :-( I love you! Hang in there!
