today is april 24th. on april 23rd, i was upset that i didn’t ride to work. i still hadn’t ridden to work. so on april 24th, i woke up a bit earlier, found my gear, packed my bag, and headed off.<\/p>\n
five minutes in to the ride, i felt something.<\/p>\n
rain.<\/p>\n
ten minutes into the ride, it was misting. fifteen minutes, somewhere between rain and downpour. the ride takes about 40 minutes.<\/p>\n
but, all of this rain and exercise made me feel pretty good. i don’t think i could claim a good heart rate for nearly a month. i don’t even want to think about the last time i actually, officially, exercised.<\/p>\n
my brain was fired up and ready to go when i arrived. that felt good too. i shared a few ideas.<\/p>\n
it was a pretty good day. and then it was time to ride home. i stepped outside for a second. one or two drops. i thanked those who had offered me a carpool, i was going to brave it. i changed back into my bike clothes. walked back to my office. packed up. rolled out the back door.<\/p>\n
it’s pouring.<\/p>\n
i waved at the kids firing their ceramics. jake hollered at me – “change your mind about the ride?”<\/p>\n
“nope! I’m going for it!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
