Tomorrow morning I'm not going to wake up to an alarm clock telling me that I have to get up at the butt crack of dawn to go bike riding. Instead I'm just going to wake up when I wake up then I'm going to have something to eat, maybe a bowl of corn flakes, then wait a little while maybe an hour, they say to eat 1 hour before exercising. I wouldn't want to give myself a cramp. Then I'm going to do some stretches for my legs and then get on my bike and go to Beach Park. This time I have a goal to get there and then collapse onto the grass and rest while listening to my music for a bit, maybe call Chip and tell him I made it. Give my legs enough time to rest so I can make it all the way back home.
I think this is a good strategy. See the reason I haven't made it all the way there yet is because I kinda figured I'd get there then immediately go home without stopping and it was just too much for my legs. But all I have to do is think about it in a different way and then I can do it. I need to do this. Then I can say hey I made it all the way to beach park and I collapsed on the grass and gave my legs enough time to rest before getting up, I looked at how pretty it is and I looked at the bike path but I will save the bike path for another time. Yeah, that's what I'll say.
The one thing I need is encouragement to do it. Well, on that note I think I shall go to bed and rest up for tomorrow. This is good because it's only 11:12pm and not 2am lol.

Getting ready for ride
Just a couple more hours before Sergio, my neighbor, comes a knockin on my door to go bike riding to Beach Park. I'm positive that I can make it all that way but once I get there I have to stop and rest before going back home. I'm actually looking forward to actually making it all that way. I really don't know why I always punk out when I do go on my bike ride. I mean, it's actually a very good idea to go all the way there, this way I can stop and lay down on the grass for a bit to give me the energy I need to go back home.
I bought a new pair of sunglasses at Walgreens this morning for $10. They are the wrap around kind, the sports sunglasses. I've had 2 other pair but both have broken and I've ended up having no choice but to throw them away. It's my own fault for breaking them though so this new pair I plan to keep with my helmet and only wear when bike riding. This way I'm not having to hold them while I'm at the store and accidentally break them lol. That's what happened to the last pair. Oops.
I've been doing laundry last night and today so I have clean clothes to wear. Normally when I go on my bike ride it's in the morning and I don't ride with anybody so I just put on sweat pants and my hoodie sweater along with thermal underwear because when I go by myself it's usually when the sun is coming up. But since it's a little warmer in the daytime I had to wash and dry my shorts and since I can't wear my hoodie then I need a nice clean shirt that isn't too tight, isn't too loose.
Going to have lunch now before I go.
Edit: I waited until 3:15 because he said he would come to my door but never did so at 3:15 I went to his house and he said he just woke up and had to get in the shower because a friend called and is on his way so the bike was a no go hehe.
