I hear ya lady!

When I go ride the path around a lake around here... I slow down... I look at the water, the ducks, the birds, etc. It makes the ride FUN!

That is also when I take my "slower" friends with me... we chat... and just have an overall great time.

I know there are times when I need to push it a little... and times when I need to slow down and enjoy the experience.

There was one Saturday that I convinced a friend to come on a group ride with me... she can't do as many miles or go as fast... but whatever. We hung together and I went back with her so she would have some company. And it was a great ride!

So... slow can be good!


PS- Also, as Type A personality, I tend to take the fun out of things... by setting goals and all that. In training for triathlons, I have constantly reminded myself to make it fun... and if it's not fun... then I shouldn't do it!
