Sunday Funday
My day started out sleeping in until 7:30 am. Yay! I haven't been sleeping well for a very very long time. When I visited with my doctor during my physical, we decided that I should try something to help keep me asleep. I wake up at 2:30 or 3:00 am most nights and rarely fall back asleep. So, sleeping in until 7:30 is a HUGE thing for me.
I'd made plans to take Blaine out for breakfast so it was off to town to pick up the man and head to Perkins. Blaine and I haven't had a lot of time together. It seems that our schedules don't mesh well anymore and I haven't been called upon to give him rides to work (other than the two weeks his parents were gone to Mexico). So spending time with him is definitely a highlight to my day.
We took our time eating - discussing everything from the gym to work and family. He has a lot to say. I honestly think that he doesn't open up to a lot of people as he's not sure he can trust people with his true feelings. I'm fortunate that he and I have the kind of relationship where he knows he can trust me and that I'm not going to tell him he's wrong or silly for feeling the way he feels. He doesn't get to see a lot of town, so we put the tunes on, cranked it up and drove out to Pipestem Dam and around the reservoir. It was a beautiful day! And Blaine was enjoying it, singing his heart out! (So was I).
I hit the gym for a quick cardio session (2 miles on the Eliptical) then hightailed it home to get a bike ride in. It was too damn nice to be inside. I started my Map My Fitness app on my phone and away I went on what ended up to be a 16 mile bike ride! Oh my gosh....it felt SO good. Granted, it was road cycling, but it felt amazing. One hill kicked my ass and I had to walk the bike up to the crest of the hill, but otherwise my legs took me the entire way.
I feel free when I'm on my bike - no worries, no stress, no one but Me. I work through my problems and ..if I can't find solutions, then I try to decide if I can live with the situation or not, if I have the power to change it or let it go. Today was one of those rides. I didn't even realize I was going 16 miles. I just rode.
I should have been packing up the house - but I needed today in the worst way!
