FREEDOM!!!
Yes, that's right... freedom! I set my bike free today! It was hooked up to a stationary thingy-ma-bob, but now it's free! It felt so good to be out on the open road on my bike. The wind in my bike helmet. Ahhh... the joy of it all!It was tougher than I thought though. As you may be able to tell from this picture, there are some rolling hills just outside my door. The hills were a challenge, but that's what gears are for, right?
I went in and out of some beautiful neighborhoods. I couldn't believe the houses just a few miles from mine! It was so nice, that I lost track of time and went an extra 5 minutes today. 35 minutes on my FREEDOM bike!
Then, I got Skeeter and we were out the door for my 15 min run. I felt like I was on auto pilot again, but Skeeter had to poo, so we made a stop and my auto pilot never returned. I made it through and did OK on my pace. I can't wait until Greg gets home and can take the dog instead of me.
Speaking of Greg, he had his first 757/767 trip for Continental Airlines this week. He went to Birmingham, England 2 days ago. His hotel was in Strattford, so he did some great Shakespeare sightseeing. Now, he's winging his way in a lovely 767 to Honolulu, Hawaii. He said he's celebrating earth day by burning 180,000 pounds of gas in his plane today! He's staying in the same hotel we were in 2 years ago, so he knows all the good places to go. He'll be home Thursday, and I can't wait to see his pictures.
Well, enough for now. I'm off to ice my back. Oh, it's my Mom's birthday today! Happy Birthday Mom!
