It's Like Riding A Bike

Today was a great day! Not a good day but a GREAT day! God showed mercy on Greensboro and gave us a beautiful day. The kind I've been waiting for since the beginning of December. I got up this morning and ran four miles. Nice slow and steady pace. Felt good after I worked out the initial kinks. Then after lunch, Alex came over and we hit the road! I was super worried this morning about riding the bike today. All of these negative thoughts were going through my mind. It's been three months. What if I forgot how to ride? What if I wasn't strong enough? What if I fell off the bike?

But the moment I placed me feet in those clips and pushed off, it was like, the past three months never happened. I was back with my old friend. I think I even cheered out loud and I know there were several times during the ride that I did. Tomorrow is another ride and a swim in the morning. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face. Alex is such good company on the rides and we compliment each other's ability. Pushing one another to be better riders! Whoohoo!!!

But other then the craziness of the work week, it's been a good week! Had dinner with Pam and Duane last night. What a riot we had! Laughing, joking and just being comfortable with one another. I had two good workouts yesterday! Legs in the AM and shoulders, biceps and triceps in the PM. I felt good yesterday. I woke up Thursday morning and knew I needed to take a rest so I took the whole day off from working out! Wow! A whole day! But I needed it and it made me stronger!

My lent journey is going well. I had a difficult conversation with Pam on Thursday and I think in the end, we are better friends for having it. We had a good discussion on Thursday night at bible study about the "letting go" of lent. I am getting ready for the resurrected Christ and every day I grow stronger and closer to Him.

So today was a GREAT day and I foresee another GREAT day tomorrow with a swim, church, lunch and then spending the afternoon with an old friend and a new one!
