Day 171

(18 mile marker on the south side!)

i went on a bike ride this morning - 38 miles! i totally kicked my own butt, it was still a blast though :) unlike when i run, when i ride i like to listen to my ipod. there is something really liberating about riding as fast as you can with music blaring in your ears. it was like life stopped for the 2.5 hours i was riding, and when the ride was over, life looked really good and it still does and it will tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day... :)
