My goal today was to bike in our front room for 30 minutes. A few years ago my husband bought me one of those gizmos that you hook to your road bike to make it a stationary bike. Best invention. I had a hell of a day at work and I almost bagged my workout altogether - so many reasons to do so - it's cold outside (I wasn't biking outside), a storm is coming (literally and figuratively), I don't feel like it.
But I forced myself to do it. I said, "Bike for 30 minutes. You can do anything for 30 minutes."
I had my Ipod Shuffle with the best songs and I was home alone so I was belting those songs out. Thank God we live in the middle of nowhere because no one needs to hear that sound being squealed aloud.
After several songs I looked at my watch and noticed that I had already biked 30 minutes. I was feeling too good to stop so I biked for 15 more.
I had fallen off the wagon for several weeks but today proved that once you have a base, you can start again after a short break. That's good to know.
Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do tomorrow! Is it bad that I am hoping for a snow day?
