Just Wun More (You'll See What I Did There)

I think I finally understand that being comfortable with where my bike and fitness routines fit into my daily routine is just as important as the routines themselves. A rather stunning admission, given that I've been doing this sort of thing since about the age of 12. That would be, let's see, 64 years.

But, yeah, that's what came to me today after I'd done the BP readings, hydrated, medicated, eaten breakfast, practiced the horn, and ridden the bike. (I still have to do my daily workout.)

And I think it seemed like such a profound moment, a moment of revelation even, because it came to me at the exact moment, the very first time, that I'd actually felt comfortable with my routine on the bike since moving it indoors.

It was like, "Aha, I can do this, I can use this to get myself through the winter, to get myself to the other side. (The Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise, as my country forebears used to say.)"

I had, actually, done a couple more tweaks to the routine since the last time I talked about it--I guess there's always just o-n-n-n-e (pronounced wun, lol) more, something I should also have learned from all my years of doing this. But that's OK, it's OK. It works better, and I feel better about it.

And the sum total of all of this is that I feel extremely grateful for all the years I've had to do this. And for the discovery, all those years ago, that this is what I like to do, that this is something that I can be somewhat good at.

Which is always a good thing to know--and feel--about your life...
