Though Emily is the real champion right now, I want to CELEBRATE that my 8-mile "training loop" is too short! I gotta add a couple miles, and everything is getting better - my lungs, my muscles, and my comfort on the bike. While I was riding, two little haiku-like poems came into my head.

I thought someone
was passing on
my left -
but it was
my braid
flying in the wind.

(and)

Here is the shady spot
where I always rest.
Today, my legs
keep going.

Everyone just starting to get in shape - remember to love yourself and celebrate every step - as someone said here, no accomplishment is too small to share. (I love that one!) and thanks to everyone who encouraged me when I felt so lousy. :D

Nice words! Very serene.

At the moment my cycling haiku would be something more along the lines of:

Bloody red lights and
buses way bigger than me -
bring on singletrack!
