jianantonicI biked all the way home from work yesterday for the first time since moving farther out. I didn't want to do it, but I talked myself into it by calling myself a lazy bitch and reminding myself that I don't get better weather than this. And I thought to myself in my 9-year-old niece's words, "Just do the damn thing!" I had just gotten my bike back from the shop, and I've been feeling lazy lately, so even talking myself into going the whole way felt like a victory. What I've been doing the few times I have biked since moving is riding only about halfway, and taking transit to cut out the middle half of the ride. It shortens the commute from 14ish miles to 7 or 8ish, which is still a decent way, but feels like a copout, especially with the long rest in the middle of the activity. The full ride took me 90 minutes yesterday, and I took it relatively easy. I probably could do it in 75 minutes, maybe...but no real reason to rush it, so I didn't. The last few miles were awful, though. I had no gas in the tank and being so close to home but still so far was a real mindfuck. I felt great when I finished, though :) I have to do it again tomorrow, since Z is taking the car to Eugene for the weekend.
Tonight I'm going to BodyPump again after about a week off. I'll stick to using the beginner weights and just work on finding the groove for now. As much as I enjoy being fit and trim, it's really nice to finally not have something to stress about -- no races on the calendar, no more dresses that are just a little too small... I mean, there are plenty of dresses that are too small, but I don't have to wear them. It would be nice if I could just be skinny, but it would also be nice to put more ice cream in my face. My life is hard, you know?
I also think it's time to cut my hair. It's at the length where it pretty much stops getting longer, and wherever it rests on my back is just fucking itchy all the time. Not sure if I wanna chop it all off or just cut it to chin length or shoulders or whatever. Suggestions welcome.
