Today was the best cross-training day ever... I was on a for real bike ride!!! I brought down my road bike from my house over the weekend and today they were doing a 70 minute run.. that is a long time on a stationary bike, so I was basically stoked to be able to road bike again. I got all ready in my biking clothes and shoes and pulled out my bike and it freakin had a flat tire (I even checked it before I left) I was determined to not go ride the stationary bike at the gym. So I went to the gas station to pump it up (cause I didn't have my pump down here) and realized I needed an adapter so I convinced myself to go to "Taylors Bike Shop" and by me a pump.. I would need one anyways right!? So we found a thorn in my tire and pulled it out and I learned how to put in a new tube (It's been so long I had forgotten how) Then I was off, I drove a little closer to the Provo River Parkway and parked the car and went for the best ride ever! The wind was blowing making it nice and cool, the leaves are gorgeous (all changing colors) and I rode past Bridal Veil Falls, and up by Vivian Park. Man that was a great ride. I was even by myself and I enjoyed every minute of it. I Love Road Biking!!!! Today definitely made me feel optimistic about cross-training :)
