Enjoy your hard work

We can be hard on ourselves with intense training and strict diets not allowing ourselves to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Everyone once and and while, you need to sit back and say "good job".

Recently I was on a ride alone, enjoy a quick ride at mission trails - a spot i know well from the high school days. My music was set just right with an energetic vibe. My muscles were sore from a tough hike the day before, but I had recovered quickly and I was looking forward to this time alone. With a bit of sassy attitude, i hit all the tough descents with easy - dropping my ass wwwaaaayyyy back and keeping my core strong. The climbs were a bit tough and my foot came down twice. note to self - more lunges with heavier resistance. All in all...it felt good that my training was kicking in and i was improving. I even let go of my crutch - my 'bad' eye. into the ride, the contact was folding itself in my eye -- i quickly stopped and took it out. i rode without any eye correction and it was fine.

i rode most of the ride with this one tune in my head and it set the mood just right - Time Along by Josh Martinez.

enjoy your hard work!
