A good hurt...

[dhrguru 1,238]

My butt it's aching something awful today! But I'll take it in stride because yesterday I rode my bike for the first time in about 2 years, and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I remember it was last time I rode it. We did about 4 miles too.

Best of all, I was able to keep a promise to my son that we'd ride together once I was healed from surgery.

Good for you! I bet it felt good to keep that promise!

@@dhrguru that's great ! I bet you both had a smile on your face during the bike ride. How about getting him to set goals along the way for you and that way he will be supportive and keep you on track.

Bike ride now:

1 month: a new outfit for you and a treat for him.

2 months: a hike

3 months: go swimming

4 months: and so on

How old is he?

Awesome!!

I'm going to bring my bike out this week. My butt is going to hurt, we will be pain in the butt friends

Tomorrow I'm going to buy some pants so that I can ride the bike in rain. No excuses! Need to exercise.

He loves planning stuff for us to do. He's 10. Actually, we're going swimming today. But hiking is a good one, thanks!!

What an inspiring post! You and your son will become even closer because of your choices. Best wishes.

I, too, took a nice bike ride yesterday. Filled up the tires and off I went????

My ass is also sore and my quads. But in a good way.... I needed it.

I've got to work on 5 lbs off this month... I have faith it will go. It is just slow since I am close to goal. I just relaxed and drank at my youngest sons wedding last week. Worth every bit!

This week is on spot!!!!
