100 things, and i am *sore*

[labelleizzy]

OK, exercise and moving my body is starting to feel more natural than sitting still.
This is a little weird, but still good. I feel *tougher* than I have in years.

Been on the bicycle every single day this week. *shrug* I can't remember now why I was ever afraid of riding in Mountain View. My bike lets me ride tall. I'm looking car drivers in the eye, and sitting up straight. Awareness and contact with others on the roads help me feel safe even in roads where there's no painted bike lane.

Am also seeing, already, some muscle definition in the quads near the knee. Unrelated to the biking but relevant to the rest of the physical working, I can feel muscles at my waist, even if they don't show much yet. So much better than feeling weak and soggy Like I did once upon a time... Functional strength and balance. This shit RULES.

feeling a need for an early night.

Be well and happy, Livejournalists!

Let me point out that in the new place you're not on the OMG insane corner and street that you were before. Yeah, bike lanes, but here you at least get a moment or two before you head out.

You're also more used to the riding.

Anyway - go you!

Yey! I am starting to feel that way about exercise too (currently sitting here chomping at the bit to go for a zombie run but have just had breakfast and about to head to supermarket with my dad).

I didn't have a bike when I lived in Mountain View, so I commuted via roller blades, and it worked well.
