2nd day - July 7th

It took a LOT of motivation to get myself to bike this morning. Even last night I already didn't want to do it. But, I kept telling myself its not a choice....I made a goal and I'm sticking to it!

This morning, I was able to get up around 6:50am....Jonny left at 6:40 and woke me up before leaving. I was able to get out of bed, but I really had to fight myself as I was getting ready in the morning. I decided to try biking on the beach because it looked amazing....and it was amazing, but a lot harder. After about 15min of biking on the beach, I went to Ocean Beach Blvd and did another 13min or so on pavement. After I finished with the beach part, I was exhausted and I thought that I would just go home. But after moving to a paved street it got a lot easier, so it gave me good confidence. But it was wonderful to be moving fast on that beach...hearing the waves, seeing the ocean on one side, being among the birds...its a great feeling.

Overall, today was harder to bike for several reasons....the beach has a lot more friction so you have to work twice as hard to pedal (its bumpy and uneven), I was probably tired from yesterday, my crotch area hurt from the uncomfortable seat, it seemed a lot more humid and hotter (even though I was out there earlier), I was loosing some of the excitement I had yesterday.

But I did it!!! And I'm going to do it again tomorrow!

Actually, tomorrow I'm thinking of wearing my bathing suit to go out so that I can go swimming in either the pool or ocean after getting all hot and sweaty.
