When I run and ride I find that my mind swirls. I have some deep thoughts. I sometimes 'write' my next blog post (when I have a moment of inspiration) in my head. It's my me time. So today I'm going to take you along on my ride and you can 'hear' my thoughts.
I step out of the house with my bike and it begins.
Dang, it's hot out here, I thought it would be cooler since it's 6:30 AM, darn humidity.............This isn't too bad, I'm feeling it today, of course it's downhill at this point...........Drat but I do hate riding on this road.................last monday I forgot my water, glad I have it today............Stupid road, crevices galore. That would really blow to get my tire stuck in a crevice................Oh look, there's Terri driving by..........ahhh that was fun to see a friend and to be able to wave a good morning message.............Oh I don't think she recognized me in my bike gear though.........seriously, another hill.....................the stop signs coming up....don't forget the clips on your shoes..........Clip.....clip....clip....ahhh stop signs are over for a while..........WHAT????........Seriously, I thought motorcycles were more cognizant and aware and KIND..........I am on a huge shoulder, a good 5 feet beyond the white line and that motorcycle didn't have to come across the white line and buzz me!..........wonder what road I should take today.........stupid motorcycle........wiggle toes, wiggle toes, wiggle toes................Move out of the way squirrel........oh no, I'm going to hit the squirrel..........what's up with motorcycles and squirrels today.........another hill, how did I get so lucky............relax my shoulders and loosen the arms........ahhhh poor pretty dead fox, now I want to cry..........wiggle wiggle wiggle the toes...........uhhh that was stupid, why did I not pedal out of that hill, now i'm at the bottom of a hill with literally no momentum.........stand up and ride sissy........ahhhh made it to the top and I didn't have to unclip, that was close.............one last hill and I'll be there..........unclip dummy.....ahhhh two feet on the ground, legs are a little jelly-like but how exhilerating!!!!..........
Yeah, there were no grand, deep epiphanies today. But that's OK, we can't have that happen every day!
Monday = weigh day! 218.3 I'm good with that. It's not a HUGE drop, but it's a drop. I'll take it!

Sometimes when I go running, I have deep thoughts and all sorts of philosophical moments. Other times my thoughts get no more witty or clever than "Damn, I want a cheeseburger today", ha ha.
I sometimes have life altering realizations when I walk, but then don't remember what they were by the I get back to my car. I think it's because of the oxygen deprivation... lol...
at least it want a Viking squirrel! lolol my brain would give most whip lash as I move with lightning speed form topic to topic I usually have to explain the thought process to others SLOOOOOOOWLY! lolol
Haha! You're so funny! I have those crazy thoughts too while running. I'm more like "Damn, I actually made it to the 18th lamp post!"
Keep up the great work sugar! You're an inspiration to us all.

Good job on the lost! Sad about the fox though!
When I first started running I counted slugs . . . seriously, I needed something to keep my mind off how hard I THOUGHT it was and there was a lot of slugs. (I really, really hate slugs, but stepping on one is worse than seeing them. Yuck!)
Sometimes now, during a particularly hard run or up hill, I'll count my steps between cracks in the sidewalk. It keeps my brain busy so it won't think about how hard the run is. :-)
