So, I did not go on my scheduled run yesterday (I moved it to today) because R wanted me to go on a bike ride with him. Now, normally I love going on bike rides but there was a catch to it this time....he wanted me to try out one of the new electric bikes he has put together. I have to say that I was a little nervous about it- when he had me try his mountain ebike I couldn't even get on the seat (his bike frame is a bit big for me) and I also kept hitting the throttle which would cause the bike seat to ram into my lower back- let me tell ya, it HURT!! Needless to say I was a little nervous but game to try the new ebike (it is a bright blue Schwinn cruiser, soooo cute!) and since the battery on it had less power than the mountain ebike I was a little more optimistic.
Can I just say WOOHOO?!? It was like I was a kid riding a bike for the first time. It was a little awkward at first and I was walking up any steep dirt trails but once I got going I just cruised around the bike trials at full speed. I had the time of my life! We also took Coop with us and that little guy kept up with us the whole time - new way to exercise our dog :). R is hoping to list it on Craigs and sell it but I asked him if I keep this one and he could sell the next one....we'll see, if nothing else maybe I can get him to build me a new one.
I am feeling a little down about this weekend- EVERYONE is going out of towns: R & Coop, the folks, close friends that would normally be my "go tos". I usually am OK with some "ME" time but for some reason am not looking forward to it this time. Guess it will be a good time to get some runs in :) and maybe some super fun house cleaning.
Happy Weekend to All!!
