Oh me.....

 I found something interesting today


    I have a calendar to record meetings, events, etc.  I can't use the phone calendar because it just confuses the hell out of me.  I enter the wrong times, on the wrong days, and my patience wears thin.

    So I have a calendar book.

    I record blood pressure readings, weight weekly, meetings, events, and miles I ride my bike.

    Looking through it tonight I discovered I rode my bike..... hold on.....2.6 miles last year!  That is once around the subdivision.

    In 2023 I only had 86 miles.  In 2022 it was 200 something.  

    2.6.

    Granted, las summer was hot. 

    But more to the cause was my hearing loss.  I was constantly dizzy and was really afraid to get on my bike for fear I would fall.

    This year the dizziness is gone so I have no excuse.

    I have a friend , who along with her sister. took. their dad on a bike ride for his 70th birthday.  They covered about 500 miles in something like 14 days.    They camped, used motels, and rode a loop that started near Chicago and circled northern Illinois. 

    Even in my best years I would not have been able to do that.  When I went to Holland with Bob and Diane we rode about 25-30 miles a day for 5 days and I was pretty wiped at the end. 

    But 2.6?

    I am even embarrassed to admit I have a bike! 

    It is hanging in the garage and one day soon I may just take it down and see if I can top last year's total.

    That should not be too hard.

Peace and Love
