I haven't ridden outside all month. In fact, I heard on the news today that we've had precip every day this month. Sigh.
So, instead I've been upping my yoga practice again and hitting 3-4 classes a week, including a two hour one on Saturdays. This past Sunday, my riding buddies at I met, along with our bike trainers and did a garage ride. That was less than fun, let me tell you.
I've been trying to make it to spinning class, but it's been a bit of a challenge. The Y I went to last year--and the one that's five minutes from home--got new spin bikes that are made for someone taller than me (or with longer arms) because I can barely reach the handlebars. My back got kind of screwed up from it so now I'm going to a Y that's about 10 miles from home. Grrrr.
I'd really like to start running again, but don't know where to start. A lot of my cycling friends get together to run on the weekends and I'd really like to join them. I ran off and on for years but have had a mental block about it for some time. It's not fun like cycling is to me, so I don't know that my motivation is in the right place.
Other than that, I've been doing some rainy day things. I've been trying to declutter my house because it's sort of driving me crazy. I took a day off work last week to get all my holiday shopping done. I finished my holiday cards yesterday and got them into the mail--which is always a relief. I've been to the movies a few times and went to see an exhibit on Roman art from the Louvre at the Indianapolis Art Museum. Oh, and I've been reading again a bit more.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
