Today was my first outdoor ride of the season and I tinkered around at my computer this morning trying to "map my ride" to make sure I got close to the 15 miles I was supposed to ride.
So off I go and ride my loops just to get the feel of the bike on the road. I rode pretty well, not completely fearless, but I didn't have a death grip on the breaks, nor did I have a panic attack when a car would pass. When I got back home and to my laptop and go to log my ride only to find out that I only rode 9.5miles, not the 15 I had in my head. GRRRRR. Now normally I would turn around and go back out, but the rain came in, and I didn't want to go and do another 6 miles in the rain.
Perhaps tomorrow I will go after those other 5.5 miles (after a 4 mile run). But for today, I am going to be content that I got my butt off the couch and on the bike and road with confidence for 9.5 miles. Today I chose confidence over distance.
