Putting Air in the Tires

Today was a good day. It started with a 15 mile ride on the spin bike jamming to some good tunes. I hopped off the bike and jumped on the treadmill to run 3.1 miles. Much to my amazement, I made it. Nice slow and steady run and I only walked twice for a minute each time. It felt good.

This put me in a good mood for work (late for work) but ready to tackle the day. Work was good. Had a meeting with Council this afternoon that was what it was but ended early much to my amazement. This enabled me to hit Kiernen's spin class this evening. She teaches the most challenging spin I've ever taken. Not sure if it's the history between us or just her nature but I work harder in that class then I do in any other. It was a great ride and a good end to my day.

I almost allowed myself to hit an unhappy place after class but I refused to end such a good day in that fashion. There are some things I can't change but I can overcome. There are some relationships that are worth fighting for and there are other's you learn that the only thing to do is let go. I suck at letting go. I'm always the last one to leave a party or end a call. But it has been 3 months of silence in this friendship and all I can do is let go. Hopefully this will bring me peace. I miss the friendship and the good times but I need to let go before I allow this anger and the hurt I feel to overshadow the good memories.

Tomorrow brings the pool and another attempt at being Nemo. Should be fun! Alex put together another challenging workout. Kathy's back to swim with me!!! Whoohooo.

But a day like today puts air in my tires so that I can keep riding and moving forward. Today was a good day and I foresee a good day in the weather forecast tomorrow.
