I’ve been in a funk… I’ve been in a rut, a valley, a duldrum, a mother fuckin snit…
And now I’m done.
I had a fantastic ride tonight. I might have pushed myself harder tonight than I have in months — if ever. Legs burning, I was screaming at the hills (my ride partners must have been embarrassed *blush*). I didn’t quit when I wanted to, and I didn’t slow down when I wanted to.
Thanks to my teammates for pushing me harder than I thought I could go.
Thanks to Mother Nature for cooperating for a change.
Thanks, sweetie, for Tuesday nights 😉
….. so, I was starting to feel “reset” at the Poto yesterday. I had a great ride yesterday as well. For the first time in more than a month, I started to feel connected with my bike. I felt like I was in control of it, and it was in control of me at the same time. I rode with some great friends who were also having a wonderful time. I rode all the way home in the Jeep with a silly grin on my face. What a great day!
Today? Well, today was the icing on the cake. Today put me back where I belong. Today I felt like a 3rd year mountain biker (rather than the 1st year whiner I used to be, and I’ve been acting like). Today I remembered that I CAN ride with more experienced riders and not hold them back. Today I remembered that I’m strong – both legs and mind. Today I remembered that I am in control of MY life.
Dinner’s here … time to eat 🙂
