I hadn't ridden since I was a teen. But I found a spark of enjoyment in it. Since then ( and a big IRS refund) I bought myself a big Marin 29er a beautiful shade of metallic orange. It was purchased on March 2nd. So far I've logged about 45 miles in 3 days, today I logged the bulk of it, I rode pretty close to 30 miles. For those of you in the D/FW area. It was from Lewisville to Southlake and back. There are a few stresses in my life, work, school, home, my seizures: not many more than anyone else here I'm sure. But this bike seems to help me just let it go, stop worrying about it and just ride. I haven't had that feeling in a long time and it's highly welcome in my life. Right now I'm so tired, but I'm so satisfied and happy because of it.
I've changed my daily schedule a little to also help me out. I'm doing my schoolwork in the mornings before work. That seems to help a little, now I'm going to start riding at night, maybe about 10 miles. It's funny though, I have a program on my phone to track my route; my workout; and calories lost. But I really don't care about it much beyond how the wieght loss will concentrate the medicine I take to counteract my seizures and help me to not have as many. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
