"Nothing compares with the simple pleasure of a bike ride."
— John F. Kennedy
It was a beautiful sunny day and I spent the first half of it online. After lunch, KJ and I got out our wheels and pedaled over to the Y. Round-trip we did four miles — which made this my longest trike ride yet (albeit with quite a break in the middle). Also it was the most traffic I'd been out in. But the drivers behaved and I didn't stress. We must have been quite a sight on our two recumbents, bike and trike. I was smiling the whole way.
At my last job, I used the company's on-site gym primarily for Pilates classes, which were offered only intermittently. Outside of class, I found it hard to tear myself away from my desk to workout. So one of my goals in quitting that job was to establish new habits around exercise before I start the next one.
So, not only did we ride over to the Y, but we went in and added me to KJ's membership. And whether we ride or drive over, the option of going together is likely to get both of us there more often.
