First day of Spring!

I am so excited that Spring is finally here. Of course that means it was free cone day at DQ... But hey at least I still managed to get in my mile of riding today. Had a busy evening since I am a Girl Scout troop leader and we had a meeting tonight, but did my ride before we left for Scouts.

Took a new path today

My son wanted to try a different route so we turned left out the driveway instead of right today and there were far more hills in that direction. I've mostly been doing two straight paths on flat surface with maybe a slight but hardly noticeable incline. Not today though. This time it was one straight shot down and back but some decent sized inclines. He enjoyed just coasting down them but I made sure to pedal my feet even on the downhill parts. My heart was definitely racing by the time it was all said and done.

My first NSV of 2019

So the app I use to track my workouts has the option to pause. Today was the first day since I started doing a mile a day on my bike that I didn't have to hit pause for one reason or another.

My 10 year old went with me again today. He opted out of doing Soccer this season so I think it will be a good thing for him to ride his bike a little each day, too. This is the first season since he was 4 that he hasn't had some sort of sport to do. I want to keep my kids physically active. They are both in scouts and do plenty there but it's just not quite the same thing. I was never allowed to sign up for sports outside of school as a child and always wished I had.
