August 23rd, 2005 - Biking
About a month ago, I wondered if I’d ever get used to my bike ride. Well, it doesn’t usually feel like it, but I know I’ve gotten better at it since last year. Last year, shortly after buying the bike, I had to take it to the dentist, which is probably 3x the distance I normally bike. The ride was long and hard for me. I had to do it again last week and I was not looking forward to it. So much so that Eric said he’d come pick me up so I wouldn’t have to ride back. I finally said no, that’s not right, save the gas. I’m glad I did! It was not long and excrutiating like last year! Well, it was still long but didn’t take anywhere near the time I gave myself for it (I was 25 minutes early for the appointment!). At the very end, I felt tired, but I wasn’t exhausted. Maybe in the next few months I’ll take some longer rides, like over to the lake just for the fun of it!
