(not my actual bike...wish it was though)
i started my new shift today at work, 12 noon to 8:30pm. it's not bad so far. i get to wake up and have a relaxing morning, no rushing from bed to shower to closet to work. it is a more chill, mellow morning. i took my dogs for a walk, made a good hot pot of coffee. enjoyed sitting on my couch watching a little tv and then started to get ready for work. i was trying to figure out what would be most comfy to where to work after riding a bike from my house to my job. so i searched through my closet and found my black leggings that i love oh so much. i slipped into them, found a spandex type top and threw on my "Jesus shoes". i said my goodbyes to the pups and BFI and hauled my bike down 3 flights if stairs. yes, you read right 3 flights. and for those of you who don't think it is such a big deal to have a nice bike ride to work, think again. I live in Arizona...enough said. from my house to my job its about a 6 mile trip. and let my also mention that i have not ridden a bike since i was probably 10 years old. and even though you never forget how, it was an intresting adjustment. i just start peddling, and it doesn't feel so bad at first. there is a slight breeze so it isnt unbearable. i can't help but smile because i am using a cheap and environmental friendly alternative to getting around town. and then i start to sweat...yuck. now i am an athlete and have been my entire life. so sweat isn't something i am a stranger to, but i am going to work here. i have to be professional, so i started to frown more than smile...and then my ass started to hurt. not like a good workout hurt, like a OMG my ass is raw from the seat kind of hurt. but i just kept on pushing and peddling and yessss! sweet victory! i made it to work with almost 20 minutes to spare. those 20 minutes were definately needed to help my body and booty cool down from my 6 mile umm death ride. lol but it was worth it.
