October 2, 2007 - Things I have learned

Like I've said in prior posts, I've learned a lot this summer!

-Cyclists wear spandex for a reason. Having loose clothing flapping around you while you're riding chafes the skin. Painful!

-Swim caps are not as ugly when everyone is wearing them.

-Jogging on asphalt is better on your joints than jogging on the sidewalk.

-Cyclists ride on the street for a reason. Riding on the sidewalk is painful because road bikes feel every last little bump. Share the road!

-Bike shorts are a gift from heaven when you have a 20+ mile ride.

-Facing your fears is empowering! For me, this was the amoeba.

-Bike falls are not fun, and the most benign are the most embarassing.

-Workouts are much more fun when you have an ultimate goal in mind!

-No matter how old I get, the Magic Kingdom is still a magical place!

Thanks to those who have kept up with me by reading my blog. Thanks even more to those who supported me throughout this journey!
