It is interesting to me that it took the 30 Days of Biking challenge to actually get on my bike every day. I mean, I don't own a car .... shouldn't getting on my bike be second nature? Well .... no. I have found plenty of other ways to get around - which is fine. When I took on this challenge, it wasn't to bike everywhere ... it was to live fashionably without a car. Although - I did think that my bike would be my primary mode of transportation. For many reasons, that turned out not to be true .... but I am starting to fall in love all over again with my bikes. It is almost the giddy feeling you get when discovering something new .... a little scary, but oh so fun!!! :)
Today I biked to my yoga class. Ok - I have biked to yoga before - so this should be nothing new. Although, I had the nervous feeling that I would not be able to maintain the "yoga bliss" on the way home. I should not have been apprehensive at all ...... the bike ride home was actually more pleasurable (and actually faster) than the bike ride there. I was able to appreciate my surroundings, my body and the journey so much more on the way home.
Tomorrow is biking to Cross Fit .... again. The first time I do have to say the ride home was AWFUL! I know it will be the same way tomorrow ---- but I am going to try and recapture some of the "yoga bliss" and enjoy all of the things that my body can do --- and the interesting surroundings --- and more importantly the journey. The only thing that it won't be it fashionable .... some people can pull of sweaty fashion .... but I am not one of them. I will be a big, sweaty mess .... but hopefully if you see me I will be a big, sweaty mess with a smile on my face!!! :)
