I would like to say I returned to the trainer
re-inspired to ride inside and watch ‘Friday Night Lights’ on my iMac as I
pedaled…but that would be a lie, which I only do when I think it’ll get me out
of something. No…I didn’t like it,
but I did it. I’m starting to get
my head around what I’m going to do this summer during ‘Tour Ohio’ and
realizing that I’m running out of tomorrows for training already. And that’s not entirely true,
either. I mean, I could be ready
for that trip by putting in three good months of training and if I’m not going
to go until August, I’ve got until May to get totally serious. In reality though, I need to get in the
proper frame of mind. I’m not
kidding myself into thinking that I’m still in my thirties. I need to be doing something every day
(well…almost) and have my body whittled down to mostly well-conditioned muscle
before beginning this thing if I am to come out the other side in one
piece. More importantly, I need to
have my mind right. I need to
start this thing thinking there is nothing I can’t do so that when things get
really tough, as I know they will, I’ll have the mental fortitude to keep going.
So I rode 75 minutes on the trainer and followed
that with a delicious smoothie for dinner. I’d like to say that was all I had for the evening…but then
that would be a lie, as well.
There was Breyer’s ice cream in the freezer, peanut butter in the
cabinet and chocolate milk in the frig.
I’ll leave it at that.
