A Goal Accomplished

Just got back from a 24 mile ride!! Rockford, MI to Sand Lake, MI. I'm pretty excited although my knees are paying for it. I think I'll have to do that one a few more times before I can move to the next level. I was feeling like I couldn't make it to Sand Lake and I looked up and saw the WATER TOWER! I was so excited; I'm pretty sure I had a similar facial expression my brother did when he qualified for the Boston Marathon. His goal was a much bigger one, but I have to feel good about these smaller ones, otherwise I won't make it!

The White Pine Trail used to be a railroad and I got to thinking as I was riding; It would be so cool if every unused railroad in the U.S. was turned into a bike trail. Maybe the U.S. would be a healthier country. It really is a beautiful ride. I have a few songs on my iPod that bring up some emotions in me. I was surprised how my emotions were really magnified when riding through wide open spaces and corn fields. Crazy.

My husband and I had this conversation last night and he said I should blog about it. I've noticed that people in my generation are generally pretty tech savvy, however most of us still carry around planners and calendars with us. So weird! Why don't we just use the calendars on our Blackberries and iPhones. I bet the generation younger than us does. Most of my 30+ year old friends all use some kind of 'paper' calendar or planner. I guess we just aren't quite ready to fully get rid of our 'paper.'

Well hopefully I'll still be walking tomorrow!
