Need some inspiration?

Options
So my hubby hates walking (I love it...and running/stepping/aerobics/folk dancing, etc...) but decided that he hates biking less, so we bought bikes a few months ago. We've been riding a few times a week. This morning, we got up at 6AM (already an amazing thing - LOL!) before the MAJOR HEAT started and did a REALLY HARD route - the first 35 minutes were practically all uphill! (The rest was level/downhill - like a prize for our efforts - with an uphill at the end.) I didn't think I could do it but I did!!! AMAZING!

It's funny - recently I didn't think I could run outside - away from the "safety and privacy" of my treadmill, but my friend encouraged me to run outside with her and I did...with great success! Now this biking route - another success!

I guess sometimes you just have to DO IT - jump in and make up your mind that you're going to do it and you CAN and WHEN you do, it's just great! You can apply this to anything - weight loss, exercise, anything!

Hey - I'm 48 years old - if I can do it...so can you!!!

Much success to everyone on this journey!
