September/October Mental Health Challenge

[jelee1311]

I think mental health challenge is an interesting idea, we gotta a lotta crazy round here so here goes. Be present and ride. I rode today even though it rained about an inch in 1 hour and I saw the leaves changing, the last of the master gardener who lives 3 houses up amazing flowers, the kids on the next block jumping in puddles. All I could think is being off my bike gave me such a jones for it and now I could do it ,these silly little things make me feel good and I missed them. Being on my bike gives me perspective

Well I went to my Mtn. Biking clinic yesterday. It was great! Took my mind off work for a whole day +5. Relaxed and had fun +5. Didn't regret one minute of it and so the guilt just disappeared +5. It wore me out and I slept all night last night +5 again! It was all good.

+5 Went with Brewer to the State Fair. Had fun talking to the last hold out group of dairymen there about where to buy unhomogenized milk. Bought tiny waterproof container to carry relics of St. Tiger (the dead cat) with us on tandem rides.

+5 shopping out in the world at all my favorite discount places (Big Lots, TJ Maxx, Tuesday Morning) and the grocerystore that is in the same neighborhood as the discounts.

Do you think my steroid nose spray will be performance enhancing for cycling?
