"If you always put a limit on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. THERE ARE NO LIMITS. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." ~ Bruce Lee

The morning debacle for Angela/I could not resist posting this

Hey!
I got up to join you guys, but I didn't have an address to find you! I was going to head up that way and see if I could find you, but then the snafus began to pile up. As you laugh at my lack of preparation and even understanding of how to prepare, remember that this is my first exercise experience in a very long time! My bike tires were flat and it took forever for me to figure out how to work the pump and pump them up. And guess what! The recommended tire pressure is right there ON THE TIRE! So it's already past 7, but I grab my helmet, still in the box. Who new the dang things were so complicated to get to fit your head? I practically squeezed my brain out of my ears before I realized there is a little button you turn to loosen something inside the helmet so it fits your big head!  It's 7:30... you guys will be finished before I even get there. So I rode 2 and a half miles in my neighborhood. Then ran (a little)/walked another mile. And I have to say thank you for telling me to practice the transition! I thought my legs were going to buckle when I started trying to walk. I am sure my neighbors thought I had been drinking at 9:00 in the morning when they saw me wobbling down the street!  It was no where near the fun you guys had, but I am now in working condition - well, my bike and helmet are! Though proud of my accomplisment, I have a LONG way to go! 12 more weeks!
See ya soon!
Angela
