Today as I'm mid training session with Meyrick in IF West Vancouver, along comes Keith with a genius idea to get me out on a bike for the first time since I was a wee lass. None too impressed, I watched them prep the bikes despite my protests & clear show of fear. It might seem a little dumb to be afraid of riding a bike, but I've never really done it....kids at least get training wheels or something to work up to a free-ballin' ride (which I actually did ask for). The guys did an awesome job of explaining all the basics of riding around on a bike without getting hit by a car or landing on my face. They were really encouraging and I actually had a great time...Meyrick is already talking about riding to Port Moody (ummmm ya - for sure).
One thing about biking when you never really have before....ouch. I don't know what it's like to have man parts but let me tell ya, girl parts don't feel that great after 30 minutes of bike seat. I never thought I'd wish to toughen up down there but yep....aiming for tuff muff (patenting that by the way?).
When I got home today I was watching Glee and a commercial came on opening with a close up on a bike seat that is slowly wrapped in barbed wire...I thought *yes!! that is exactly what it's like!*. Then...bam!...it's a commercial for Preparation H. Soooo apparently bikes do hurt people other than me....if they have huge hemorrhoids.
I just hope tomorrow I don't still feel like I got punched in my no-spot.
I have spent 30 years in a body that I'm completely irresponsible with... I live the all too common story of do too much, sleep too little, and live on processed food and caffeine. I spend a lot of time complaining and no time making changes...it's time to turn the crazy train around and start taking care of my only body! This is my story as I am supported by Port Moody's Innovative Fitness and Impulse Sport Therapeutics to quit the excuses and get this body under control.
