So this week has been good. Tuesday: 2400 yards of HIIT. Wednesday: 23 miles @ G.B. Park. Today: Basketball for at least 1.5 hours. My reward: sandwich, salad, protein, or fruits. This probably does not sound to pleasing to most, but hell, after drinking lemonade for a few weeks, nothing taste better.
Yesterday's bike ride was pretty tough. It has been a few months since I been back on the saddle but I realized how enjoyable it is. People used to ask me, "so what do you think about during the 20, 30, 40... 70 mile rides?"
20% of the time, it is usually, "I wonder what's for dinner", "Do I feel hydrated or dehydrated, hydrated or dehydrated", "I hope the guy in front of me doesn't let one loose", "I wonder what everyone is doing right now", "I hope I don't get chased by any dogs". My thoughts are so random, you'd think I was crazy if you were inside my head.
But in all honestly, 80% of the time, my mind is free. Not to sound all cheesy or anything, but it's the truth. This is probably the only time I am most relaxed. I'm sure other bike riders can relate.
So everyone, get on a bike (or buy one first, preferably a road bike), go for a ride, and find out for yourself. Give me a call if you need a riding partner. Good stuff I tell ya!
