40 Miles Down

I got up yesterday morning and went to the gym to begin my year.  I was hoping I could ride my bike outside, but I live in Seattle and even though it was gorgeous on December 31st – by January 1st it was dumping rain and windy.  In my younger days I probably would have gone outside anyway, but I’m 45 now and either I’m softer than I use to be or wiser than I use to be.  Either way, I went to the gym.
