Wow, we’re already through August. I was having a conversation with some friends about how it’s so silly to have commentary about the passing of time like that. But yet, here I am, making silly statements. The last two weeks have been relatively chill, which is nice.
We’ve taken advantage of our Alamo Season Pass to see the Odyssey and Spiderman. We actually saw Spiderman twice, which was fun.
But the big update of the past week is that I’ve actually gotten my bike up and running again. I went for two shorter rides after work this week, and I went for a ride with a few folks from the gym this morning. It’s so nice to get back on the bike. After the ride I went for a 3 mile run around our neighborhood, as I want to make sure I’m getting the running in.
I enjoy being able to run, but I actually enjoy just being on my bike. Getting to ride with other people today was a blast. It has been 13 years since I went on a ride with somebody else, and man I really missed that. That’s actually why I’ve been able to be so consistent with CrossFit, it’s because I get to hang out with other people during the exercising. I enjoy a good solo bike ride, but they can’t all be that way. That’s actually why I stopped. I had lost my group to go ride with, and I just couldn’t make myself go out for a 4 hour ride every weekend by myself. Not that I necessarily intend to start doing that type of distance again, but it will be a great way to get some extra exercise in while it’s hot.
