Well...last week was not that special by any means, but I had a moment. I did nothing Mon-Fri, but had a nice 2:45 ride on Sat. and followed that up with an 1hr spin on Sunday. Great weekend! As I was riding on the rail trail in South Lyon on Sunday I passed a family of 4 walking/rolling along the path. It was mom, dad, grandma and a little boy around 3. The dad looked to be paralyzed and was in a wheelchair. It hit me then...I can ride, run, ski whenever I want because I can. That guy would probably give anything to get out of his chair and run like a mad man down that path. I decided then that I must do something most days because I can, for that guy stuck it that chair.....because I can. I thanked God as I rode along for giving me my health and a healthy family.
I followed up a good weekend with a morning run with Leah in the jogger and D. Watch out...3 days in a row, its been awhile since I've done that! Pretty sad, eh. Well...having this week off will be good and I will try to be active everyday this week. I felt good for not running in so long. I actually felt better towards the end...we jogged slow but it was a good day for the mind and body.
Things to focus on this week, working out, diet, family and odd jobs around the house. Motivated for the duathlon at Kensington this fall. I have July, August and September to gain some fitness. Wednesdays workout will turn into a brick using the bike course from the duo followed by a brisk 5km run. That run after the bike is always a killer :)
