too tired and sweaty to be upset right now

[hetaira9]

I've been FRUSTRATED lately for reasons that are boring and unnecessary to elaborate on, so I went for a nice, hard bike ride this afternoon and now I'm all tired and sweaty and endorphin-y and all I want is a shower and to stretch.

But at least I'm not obsessing. Have I mentioned how much I love my bike? God, what would I do if I couldn't

Love this post. I know exactly what you mean. Some intense physical activity can really put things into perspective and get you in tune with the immediate.

I want to get a bike, too, eventually, so I'm having fun reading about your spins!

Definitely! I do yoga and play volleyball, but there's something very different about being on a bike. It's been great aerobic exercise and requires a lot of concentration being on the road with cars--you can't be obsessing about stupid stuff when you're in traffic and trying not to get hit!

You should definitely get a bike! I'm looking forward to doing longer rides and biking on the lakefront once I'm more used to being on it :)

PS, it sounds like things are going REALLY well for you, and I'm glad to hear it!
