Hey You must be some kind of gypsy.you have lived all over. I have a 10 k marked for October.. under 60 minutes???? Doable.. not sure. Gives me a training goal..I adopted a cast off Giant bike from a student who had out grown it.. yep I am not tall.. the shocks are great..have been biking as a break from running. The lack of pressure and also stop my magic thinking.. my IC calls it.. when I think and think about what I want to happen until it does..keeps hopes and expectations way too high. Had another reasonable call last night. I had suggested a time in an email and he called...makes me suspicious but I will accept the good feeling gratefully. I send pics on whats app and positive brief emails when I think of them..ie when it is genuine.we talk twice a week.. so far all pleasant. I read a book the Solo Partner...put a few things into perspective for me...clingy, fear of failure, controller, pursuer..
Gratitude.. German friends who are patient with my destruction of their language. And cuckoos The Harz been through, never stayed there.. maybe later this year... Glad there are good things happening for you.. why don't you buy a new bike.. maybe your daughter would like one too?
