And I Will Bike 100 Miles!

Back in January, in only my second post while at Live In Fitness, I announced what then seemed like the most amazing thing: I had ridden a bike! It’d been years since I felt comfortable or had the confidence to do such a simple thing. In only one week at Live In Fitness, I was ready to try it.

I wrote, “Pedaling in the sand for that long was so hard!”

It’s funny to look back on that now because that bike ride was only about two miles.

I never thought that I would fall in love with bike riding. I simply thought that it would be a means of transportation to get from my villa to the gym, which were about a mile apart. I never anticipated signing up for all of the group bike rides, biking to the movies, or even to the park to go running.

Now, only 6 months later, I am participating in all of the advanced level bike rides which are anywhere from 12 to 20 miles. This week alone, I have biked 101 miles!

If you had told me back in January or even May, that I would love bike riding so much, I would call you crazy.

Coming to Live In Fitness has transformed my life in so many ways and has even opened unexpected doors and interests that I never thought I would have.

I clearly remember going on a bike ride in February and going up this tiny hill in my neighborhood. It made my legs hurt and frankly, it was sort of exhausting! The advanced level bike rides include going over a humongous bridge with the steepest hill I’ve ever biked. Although I always dread it, it’s exhilarating and I always feel accomplished.

Live In Fitness has given me what was once thought to be impossible and turned it into my reality.
