I want to ride my bicycle!
Finally get to ride outside today. Yesterday was primo conditions but we had Ainsley's "all family" birthday party so I was unable to ride or run. Today I need to go to the shop for a little bit so I'll get the Solo-One out and roll down the trail. Sweet!
"Want to" vs "have to"
So having the itch to get outside and ride/run means that training for me will be much easier the rest of the year. Why? Because last week my mind and body finally said I "WANT TO" go run, lift, ride. Prior to that my brain was saying, "you HAVE TO go run, lift, ride if you're going to do well this year". Well, I hate to say it but when I have to, I don't! When I WANT TO, I do. Maybe that's why I'm just a descent age-grouper and not a top 5 overall guy. Maybe that's why I'm always 5-10lbs heavier than I think I should be. Who knows? What I do know is that when my body says "I WANT TO!" Everything is good. It's like a caterpillar busting out of it's cocoon and spreading it's wings as a butterfly.
I'm ready now, time to fly for the 2007 season.
