f You Lack Optimism, It's Game Over – Gary Vee 

Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast. Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else. 

I’ve mentioned my struggle with my bike speed before. This week I had a breakthrough. On one of my weekday rides, although the overall speed wasn’t at 14 mph, a five mile segment was at an average of 14.3! Now to just get the entire ride to meet the goal. 

Then Saturday and my long ride came. 45 miles. I split it into two segments so I could attend the local dairy breakfast with my family. I rode to my mom’s house, which just happens to be 22.5 miles from mine, went to breakfast, and then rode back. The weather had changed overnight and gone from nice warms 70-80 temps to low 50’s and felt much colder. Plus, I had a headwind the entire ride, yes both ways, although it wasn’t quite as bad riding back as it was riding to my mom’s. When I got to my mom’s I was so cold. By the time we got to the dairy breakfast, I was still shaking. In fact I was shaking so much I couldn’t hold my plate still as I went through the breakfast line. I drank lots of coffee during breakfast, but even that didn’t do a great deal to warm me up. 

Thanks for joining me this week. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
