"Bicycle Race" by Queen

So recently I've set a goal of being able to complete a specified bike route in a certain amount of time. Yesterday, I went out and I rode the route I was thinking of and it measured it using google maps. I completed it in just over 50 minutes, and it measured out to exactly 7 miles door to door. I did some figuring and found that I was doing an average of just over 7 minutes a mile.

Today I go out and I'm having a tough time of it. My legs had been beat up yesterday so I had adjusted the bike seat for a better range of motion, but still I just knew I was going to have a far worse time than yesterday, and I was debating if I should post backsliding in my biking updates. Then as I pull up to the house, I pull out my phone and check the stopwatch. 39 minutes! I had gone 11 minutes faster than before.

I think it's amazing how limited I'm still willing to let myself feel. I mean how many times will I have to realize that I'm not as weak, slow or unable as I keep telling myself I am!

Lord, help me to be satisfied each step along the way. I've set out on a journey to better your temple, but help me stay comfortable inside this body you've given my soul as a residence for it's time on this earth. You've done so much for me in this provision, and let me never become uncomfortable in your gift. Amen

The song for the day is "Bicycle Race" by Queen. Because as tough as it can be "I love to ride my bicycle, I love to ride my bike," and partly because I know my dad hates this song haha.

Pace e Bene,
