Now Go Get Lost.

Its been a year since my world came tumbling down. So now what?
I read somewhere and it read "What others think of you is none of your business" . He was right. I have to just be myself and do the best that I can.

And now back to our show-or better yet the road. Having a blast on the fat tires! Long term thought-XC race!
Just picking a direction and I'm gone.
Sunday I reached a point. I had seen this road before and the small hill at the beginning so why not? What I didn't notice was that was only a quarter of the hill-holy cow! This is what it is all about so off I go up the hill. Now I'm pinging the heart rate and feeling good. Until the second hill and here I go again. Where is that Granny gear? Yea I said that and I made it up! Now I turn and what is this-another hill! So now I have a choice. I can either stop or walk it up. To me it is always better to keep moving so walk up and get my heart back down.
Now I was  basically thinking I was going to ride in a square so turn at the next road. This is about the time I realize I might be seeing what I just rode through and I was right. So hill four -ok, hill five not ok.
I made it back and was the better for it.
I really believe we have to break ourselves sometimes. How else are we going to learn? How else are we going to get better if not by testing our limits? I died on that ride and felt great about it,

And now on to running! Today was a great day. Today I hit the trails. I've been blessed with a state park just down the road. I know I'm going to have a great time at this place. So with water in one hand and a map in the other I was off running. Something about being alone of the trails just fills the soul with great energy. I'm in love.

With all that is going on in the country we cannot forget about our parks. We need to get out and use these great places and support them. These are true treasures!

More to come...
