So, I just pedaled an 18mile loop around my house. It felt good and Im proud of myself. But thats not the point today. Upon reaching the main road, after just getting started, I encountered a senior-70ish-man also on his bike and signaled for him to continue on his path. We said good morning and I fell in behind him. I soon realized I would be traveling a bit faster and communicated Id be passing on his left. He laughed good naturedly, and commented of course, Im old and slow! My immediate reply over my shoulder was, youre out here! and youre inspiring!. After losing my dad at age 58 to self induced heart disease Im so moved and motivated by people - all people - exercising! His choice to keep living a healthy life during this time, this short gift of being on this earth, kept me pushing myself today and I had a great ride, for that I thank him! Now, looking forward to some girlfriend time, a new outfit perhaps?, a burger and a beer as well I think....Happy labor day yall!
