"Why?"

Tough to find answers today.  After about 30 minutes I seriously considered geeing off my bike, and coming upstairs.  I think the only reason I hung in there was the knowledge that I would not be running again tomorrow, and as such I had at least better be doing my bike workouts.  So I listened to my music, read a bit, and just generally day dreamed for more than 3 hours.

And once it's over I'm okay, since throughout it, the answer to the "why" question is there in the back of my mind.  I do it for my sanity.  I do it to stay well.  I do it so that I don't get sick.  It's tough medicine for sure, and may seem like overkill to some, but I simply require a high dosage.  At least for now.

So tomorrow will be very light again, with only a swim and my weights.  That's good anyway, because it will give me time to fix the poor installation I did of our new microwave.  I guess microwaves last for 10 years and that's it! I knew ours was pooched, when it started making loud noises, emitting bad smells, and didn't warm anything up!  The installation is actually kinda okay, but kinda okay doesn't sit well with me.  I'll fix it!

So please be proud of me today.  Anyone would love to ride their bike outside for 3 or 4 hours on a nice Sunday in June, but not many people want do it in their basement in February.

  1. I too am proud, and recognize just a tiny bit how tough that must have been. I also really love the quote.
