3000 miles

On Friday, April 24 (which also happened to be my 33rd birthday), I hit 3,000 miles on my bicycle--the good old Portland. I was particularly happy cause it happened in the a park I love beside the River I love. I rode 3,000 in less than 11 months--it is a nice number--3,000.

Since February 7, I have rode 632 miles--this is mostly commuting mileage! So, I really have gotten my physical stride back since all that was once alive in me died and came spilling out between my legs. However, to be honest, I have not gotten my emotional stride back and that leaves my body feeling fatigued and worried and all out of whack.

So, if I am a bit missing in action from this blog, it is because I am a bit missing in action from my own life. I keep on keeping on, but things are muddled and foggy and heavy right now.

Back to the 3,000--a lovely number; the number I hit on my birthday! hooray.

Congratulations. I wish I could say that I had ridden that far in such a short time. You must be really in shape!

Good luck with your emotional fatigue. I feel the same way at times.

You have now officially ridden 3000 more miles than me.
Happy Birthday!
Hang tight, babe. I feel like my emotional stride is still out of whack - or maybe that I have yet to be able to walk well in this new normal. Whatever it is, I feel you. Spring is here, though - growing food is good.
