A 'FIRST' TODAY

Aug 01, 2013

Today, for the first time in about 15-20 years I went on a bike ride!!  A friend and I decided to go on a beautiful trail (to keep my scared butt out of traffic) to ride our bicycles.  Well, when I say 'our' bicycles, I really mean hers.  She gave me one of her old bikes and a helmet.  I thought it was just a loan, but she made it pretty clear that she now considered it my bicycle.  It's not that I couldn't afford a new bicycle, but it was such a generous and thoughtful thing for her to do....

Anyway, the real point to this episode..... .I managed not to crash the bike.  After my initial terror, I started to enjoy myself.  The only thing that really, really bothered me was the fact that the seat felt like it assaulted me and my wrists did not take kindly to the old school, rounded handlebars on the speed bike.  I'm not really sore at all (maybe that will be what I wake up to tomorrow...!) and I feel so great for having done something that I used to love to do when I was a lot younger (like 20 years younger!!!). 

Another step forward for me today!!

Kym:)
