Thoughts on the Happy Zone and Today's Milestone
I'm coming up on my one-year anniversary of hitting my weight target. Which means this concludes my first year of maintenance at the end of next week. I may celebrate by getting myself a pair of bicycle shorts.( pondering where I am, where I was, and where I want to be )
In other news, a year ago I ran my first race, the Susan G Komen 5 k in San Francisco. (3.1 miles for those who didn't realize that). Running 3.1 miles was a big deal a year ago; it was the results of hard work and personal follow-through.
TODAY (roll hero theme music) I biked to the top of Mt Diablo.
It took me 2 hrs and 40 minutes of climbing; 2 rests of 5 minutes each; 3,800+ ft of elevation. 11+ miles (would have to check computer on my bike for exact mileage)
Hawt Damn!
I may not be a "real" biker, but I did something big today. Something I couldn't have done a year ago.
