Going to try and power through some writing AND do more than one thing today. Exciting, I know. Totally exciting and worth stating.

Being back on the bike is great. I’m wrecked, as they say, but it’s wrecked in a good way, as opposed to a bad way, which is not something I want to feel at the moment.

I’ve lost a lot of my speed, but I can get back there. I can get back on it. Just need to keep on cycling. I need to keep on pedaling and keep on going. Need to keep on moving.

Need to make sure I leave on time in order to get to wherever it is that I am heading.

Need to work on carrying less things and seeing how that helps with the whole act of cycling. Need to take the weight off the bike, or at least have it better distributed. I will get there. Going to take some time, but I will get there. It will happen, and then I’ll be set, and hooray and all those things. But it takes time.

It’ll take… well, I’m hoping to be back to being “match fit” in two weeks. It’ll probably take longer than that, but that’s what I’m hoping. There is a lot of work that I need to put in, and I can put in that work, but I don’t think I’ll pull off some sort of amazing power shift within such a short period of time. However, if it does happen, then I’ll be chuffed. If it doesn’t, then at least I’ll still be working toward being healthier and all that stuff.

Right now, however, I’m feeling it. I’m feeling tired and sweaty, and I’m sure that I’ll soon want to go to sleep. This is on me for being as slack about cycling as I have been over the past few years. A few rides here and there, and then nothing. Right now it’s tough, but I’ll keep on working on it. I’ll keep working on improving and pushing forward, and then soon I will be gliding like the best of some.

My act of moving as motion through space will become more graceful, and I will be able to do it faster and faster, and then I’ll get to where I want to be and I’ll do some reading. I’ll then get off the train and move some more, and I’ll keep on going. I’ll keep going and, with a bit of work, reach my destination.

Maybe I’ll sweat a little less the more I do this. Actually, I’m pretty sure I will. Need to keep my fluids up. Need to keep drinking water.

Need to also work toward having a restful sleep, but one thing at a time. I’ll be a great bike rider before I have a good sleep. Or something.
