Didn't sleep well last night and this morning. Wasn't anyone or anything keeping me awake. I get into thinking early in the morning.
I figured that my current condition with my back and sciatica is the result of becoming "soft." I have been accustomed to riding 25-30 miles per day. Riding 5 miles each way is not my idea of keeping an "edge."
A lot has transpired in my life these last few months. Some good and some bad. It is time for an attitude adjustment.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.
Well, I know the things I cannot change and I know what I can change, but I don't need the wisdom to know the difference.
It is time I HAVE to make that difference. Today is the day of MY resurrection. I "cleansed" myself by riding 15.66 miles in 1:03:49 (ride day 132) on my Trek 6700 mountain bike.
That is something I haven't done since I rode 14.31 miles in 59:58 on April 27 (ride day 59).
Carpe diem.
I had to leave work early for a doctor appointment so I rode 5.36 miles in 21:07.
I rode for 21.02 miles. My first 20+ mile ride since September 8 the day after a tragic event.
Carpe diem.
