    I couldn't believe it really, I was scheduled for a water aerobics class and when I got up there was 2 new inches of snow and it was 4:50 in the morning and I thought since my studded tires are off I shouldn't try to go.

    I went back to bed and laid there and thought I could be lazy or get up and get moving. I have only rode that bike for 30 minutes at the longest before so when the minutes just keep ticking by, I was so happy.
