Today I was again a bit lacking in motivation, but again, realizing getting out in the wind improves such motivation, I dragged the Catrike out of the garage and went for a windy-day ride.
Jacque had been out of town most of the day helping a neighbor take her elderly brother to the Texas County Hospital in Houston, MO. He had taken a tumble and broke his head open, bleeding quite badly. We learned this when they pulled into our driveway madly honking their horn. Jacque drove their car hurriedly to the med facility while I stayed home with the dogs.
Jacque was thus gone a while, and she walked up to the house just as I was hooking up the power to the electronics on the trike. She is SO kind and understanding of my trike habit and gracefully allowed me to take off again.
Not only does riding help reduce my Blood Sugar readings for diabetes, and improve my moods, provide fun, etc, but I recently saw a few announcements that exercise actually wards off mental illness and dementia. In my case, I find that motivating to say the least. Stay tuned; I'll try to let y'all know how it works out.
Today being Wednesday, we have seminary classes at 5:00 PM, so I decided to cut the ride a bit short to make sure I got home in time. As a result, I rode a few streets I'm not that familiar with, lessening the boredom factor. Great stuff.
