I thought that the quote about suffering was particularly appropriate for last week. Those of you who follow me on Instagram already heard about my ‘adventures’ on my Saturday bike ride. When I was 19 miles away from home, bolt holding my bike seat broke off. My friend, who was with me, went over to a bike shop and got a new bolt, although it was not quite the right size. We did our best, but I had to bike on a poorly adjusted seat, uphill and against the wind. It was not one of my favorite bike rides… My left hip is now pretty banged up and my back took until Monday to stop hurting. I did make it through 16 miles on my Sunday run, which was 4 miles short of planned 20 (yes, my default in the schedule is to do 20 miles every other Sunday), but I am just proud I went for a run at all. At least the weather was amazing for my weekend workouts!
And a quick thank you to all the people who offered help to me while I was having bike problems. It definitely brings back faith in humanity 😊
