Snow Ride at Turtle Speed

Most people don’t start a new “training” regime with a hard workout...I guess I must be one of those exceptions.  

Riding unconsolidated snow is tough on a good day when I was in shape and it was pure pain today in my current form (which is more the form of a blobby jelly fish these days). 

There were a few moments where I could feel the spark of the old me, but for the most part I felt like a turtle floundering along in the snow.  I’m sure I’ll get past this, but in the meantime I think this is fun!?

I’m a Turtle

I’m still at a loss for explaining where time has gone. I know part of it, well a lot of it, was spent putting an addition onto our tiny house. I was the sole contractor, but now it’s finished and my days are no longer threatened with working for income only to come home and work for space. Now we’re living in 800 sqft of luxury a small increase from 480 sqft. 

Now I simply don’t know what to do with myself...except go back to bike adventures. I’ve gotten a bit soft in the legs (we won’t need to mention my pudgy middle) but I feel super fast on my bike every ride! However, looking at numbers I have a very sad reality check once I compare average speed to that of a few years ago...I seem to have morphed into a turtle. 

I have work to do.
