Joy here...While my last few posts have lamented my lack of running and have grappled with the newly forming realization that there's just no way that I can pull off a full marathon this October, I have continued to get some solace out of my cycling.
I mean, I went out on Thursday and rode the 65kms over the high hills in loop #4 of this summer season through the park, and this Sunday I did yet another loop of that park.
I gathered up a group of lovely riding ladies - 5 of us in total - and out we went. The day was perfect, a bright blue sky with a cooling breeze, and we were set for a morning of fun riding. And I don't know what got into each of us, but we really rode those hills like champions.
Maybe it was my new shoes, or maybe it was our good riding company, or maybe it was just one of those days, but all of our legs seemed to have extra energy. We rode up those hills like nobody's business and when we reached the end, one of us looked to a fit, young guy, and cheekily said: "Just so you know, you were passed by a 60-year old woman." Talk about a-t-t-i-t-u-d-e!
But then again, I still haven't run at all in 3 weeks...
...you win some, and you lose some.
That's my deep thought for today.
Over and out,
Joy
