4/23/2014 0 Comments A Dream DeferredWhoops, I just missed a lot of days. Looks like I'll have to be posting life three times a day to make up for the missed days and meet my year goal. One of the reasons I haven't been posting is because I have been extremely busy lately. For instance, I recently decided that it would be a good idea to bike to camp when I had to work in the few months between finishing the semester and camp opening for the summer. I though that it would be a perfect way to stay active, healthy and to get in my exercise in while still being productive. It's more than 16 miles one way. So I figured I should give it a practice run in order to find out the time it took to get there and to get back. Monday I did the bike ride there and back in one sitting (a little less than 35 miles). Immediate regret. It was so difficult. It is primarily hills both ways, and towards the end on the way back home there is an approximately three mile stretch that is all up hill. By that time our legs were like jello after hours of uphill biking. When we got home I splayed out on the couch for a second. Soon I realized that there was no chance in hell of me being vertical anytime in the near future. My sister and I were dead and our bodies badly sunburned. I think that it's safe to say I will be using a car to drive to camp this summer, but hey, I still got a good workout out of it! This experience had shown me that not all goals we have are good goals, or practical goals. I am the type of person who, when she sets certain goals, she reaches them no matter the costs (ok, well that's a bit dramatic, there are several things that I wouldn't do even though they would help me reach a goal). Biking might be a great source of exercise, and I do love to do it, but perhaps there are times when cars are just more practical.
