Since I was craving a good sweaty workout and unable to run I thought....why not a nice bike ride on the greenway trail near my house, not as difficult as a run, but good enough.
I get to the trail and see the little mountain biking trail and say heck why not so as I'm riding down bouncing on and off rocks, dodging tree limbs and loving it and light bulb goes off in my head....YOU IDIOT!!! Last time you flipped your bike over cause you were trying to show off, how are you going to explain scrapes and bruises all over to Jeff right before your wedding day. So I took the rest of the trail a tad more cautiously.
I thought about hopping off the trail the first chance I got but instead I stayed and to my amazement realized why I had needed to mountain bike yesterday and why I decided to continue. I ended at the lake just in time for an amazing orange and purple sunset. I got off the bike, listened to the water hitting the land and just breathed in. This is why things happen and this is why I'll always remember this sunset and the blisters.
