Ambition

Ambition.... What a bitch. Big Red and I went for our evening bike ride today. This is where my ambition almost killed me. I felt better today than I have in the last few weeks, so we went farther than we've gone before. A lot more! I'm not sure of the exact mileage, but it was at least 4-5 miles. We rode from our house to the Target off of Bay Pines. Pretty far. I'm happy with myself though. I wanted to give up several times and even had to stop on our way back for a couple minutes, but we kept pretty good pace the entire time. Sometimes you just need a breather for a second. Worked wonders. The Pinellas Trail is an amazing thing. No traffic and some very friendly folks. Discounting the few minutes we were stopped for it was a full hour of riding. I'll take that over walking any day!

I did very well food wise today. Need to get one more bottle of water down me for my goal today. Working on it now...

Yeah, motivation can help you sometimes, but what to do when that goes away? I always try to have a routine in place just to see me through those rough times.
