A Girl's Best Friend
They say diamonds are a girl's best friend. Personally I disagree. A girl's bike is her best friend. At the end of any long day, my bike is always there waiting to spend some quality time together. Last night was one of those evenings. I'll be honest, riding my bike wasn't exactly what I wanted to do but I knew it was what I should do. And when I finished the ride, I was happy I had chosen to ride.
So I headed home from the office, grabbed my bike and headed north to Dixon Observation Park for a 2 hour bike ride on the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail. Tonight's ride was a race against darkness and storms. The weather here lately has been so unpredictable and unsettled. For this reason, I didn't even bother to check the weather predictions before heading out on my ride. I decided to take the gamble. Thankfully I won both the race against the weather and just barely beat the darkness. The fireflies were coming out as I was finishing my ride.
Coming off the Smallwood Triathlon, I've jumped right back into my training this week. The motivation to train hasn't always been there every day, but I've stuck with it and am feeling good.
