Didn't get to ride today......drat this rain. Hopefully it will clear up tomorrow....I'm dying to take another LONG ride. I did treadmill and elliptical work. I also lifted some weights which I really like to do but I have neglected it lately.

I was riding yesterday and I kept thinking how fun this journey really is. Yes, it is hard. Sometimes grueling. But I REALLY REALLY love pushing myself and making myself work. I love the fact that I'm doing all kinds of new stuff all the time. The hard part is making myself do new things. I have a hard time even trying because I am afraid of failure, but succeeding is the payoff, the reward for making myself do something new, and something different.

I am having such a great time doing this. Everyday when I wake up my body feels different and I love watching the changes that are taking place. I'm in love with myself. I love myself for trying, for succeeding. I'm grateful that my body is cooperating, it's doing things I never thought it could do, and for not failing my expectations.

It's such a great adventure. The best one I've ever been on. I really am having fun.
