Health Kick

It's that time of year again. In the endless search for things to do that are more fun than homework I've found myself back on the bicycle. Not only that, but getting up earlier, making myself have breakfast and other crazy things like that. (God has helped by waking me up nice and early most mornings. He must know how unfit I am.)

This morning's ride was good. Up to the Belair triangle and back. It's only about 8km, but it has some uphill as well as some fast road sections coming back. That and it's downhill most of the way home! It's been nearly twelve months since I last took the bike out of the shed, which is pathetic, especially considering how much fun I used to have riding to the National Park and back.

Now I'm wondering this... Why does it seem so hard to do things that are good for us? Why is it so easy to make excuses? To pull out a movie or chat to someone online, when I know I will feel so much better after a good ride? I find it frustrating that when I make a decision to ride, it only seems to last for a few weeks... Hold me accountable if you like. Next time you see me ask me when the last time I went for a ride was. I'm curious to know if that will motivate me...
