Day off

Well today I am taking a day off. Once again common sense is prevailing got some bad news about one of our nieces and well I didn't sleep all that well after hearing it and right now it's only 9:20am and the bed is calling my name very loudly. I don't like to take unscheduled days but with as tired as I am I don't want to hurt myself either.

Day off

Today I am taking a well deserved day off of training. It's not really going to be a day but I will not be putting on the mileage that I normal do because I have to take my bike in and have it looked at and well I have a prescription filled for Trevor. I am just hoping that it doesn't cost too much to get the gears fixed on my bike. I haven't even started my ride across Canada and already it's been expensive.

Always Trying Something New

Well today I am trying something new, I am going to attempt to ride out to Niagara-on-the-Lake and back. It about 50km there and back, I know I can do it just a matter of whether or not my legs will let me do it. Will update upon my return. Well I went 38.6km today the last 8.6km were well my cool down, the cool down was so long because well someone locked the door knob lock on me. I usually just take the garage door opener with me and come in through the door in the garage but well someone last night locked that door on me. That is the one lock I never ever lock because there is not a key that actually open that particular lock. This is the route that I took today I map every route I use on this site: http://beta.mapmyride.com/route/detail/17822392/

Super Excited

Well I rode my bike into exercise class this morning for 10am. It was a very small class only the dedicated ones were there. We warmed up on the bike as usual, we all graduated this morning from the therapy bands to the actual weight machines. I am very excited about that because the therapy bands were not even challenging me anymore also the weight machines make it easier to target specific muscle groups and only those groups. I was feeling the burn but in a good way.

Yeah it's Monday

I know most people hate Monday's but I honestly look forward to Monday's. I like Monday's because is when I meet with a trainer for two hours and he puts me through the paces. It's also when I get to meet up with my fellow MS'ers as well and we workout together. After this workout I have to get some roundup and go to the bank and get some money to pay the bills, wait a minute I don't have bills this month which is very unusual for me not to owe someone money. Smoothie time.

Rejection's not easy to get used to

Well I got another rejection letter today. It's not the first rejection letter I have gotten. But they are getting harder to accept mainly I think because it's for a cause that I am so passionate about because it doesn't hit any closer to home when it's yourself suffering from the disease. I have learnt to live through others for the majority of my life because if I couldn't do something when I was younger, I was foolish enough to try and do sometimes. I have been content to sit back and watch as my friends and family did some stuff that I was unable to do. I was always encouraged to try stuff no matter how far out of my range of abilities it was because the only way to find out whether or not I could do something unless I tried and failed.

Pizza

I can't believe I let myself get talked into going all the way to Hamilton for pizza. When I asked what was happening afterwards I found out the real motive was so they could go to the hobby shop. Looks like he's gone way over on the budget this week. Hey what can I do I don't want to nag because I know he hates that and ends up resenting me for it that is why he stopped working out. I just wanted him to workout again because he was feeling better when he was realizing he could do stuff he hadn't been able to do in quite a while. It made both of us feel good.
