I mentioned I quit the gym. I'm a natural quitter if you haven't figured it out. I start things with grand plans and then they come crashing to a dismal end. I know it - nobody has to point that out to me. But for all of my failed attempts at trying new things, I've had many successes when I live outside the box and try new things. I ran a half marathon in Disneyworld because of a wild and crazy plan. I LIVED in Disneyworld because of a wild and crazy plan. I see a theme here...
So, what's my next wild and crazy plan? Peddling to Orlando, FL and back. What's this? Absurd, you say? Not when I'm doing it from the comfort of my living room!
Lot's of people have wild and crazy ways to motivate them while they get in shape. They run a mile in honor of every casualty in a war. Or ride around the globe. I have chosen to ride to Disneyworld. This is feasible given I have approximately 519 days until my family and I actually go to Disneyworld for Moxon's big birthday bash. As the car drives, it is 1,894 from Ft. Fun to Orlando. That would be 3,788 miles in total.
Once I pick up my awesome recumbent exercise bike, which was the only thing I really used at the gym, I will start my journey. My schedule has stabilized (for the moment) and I'm going to use my lazy mornings to my advantage. And seeing how I HATE winter with a passion, I can envision warmer times while peddling in the comfort of my living room.
I can read while peddling. Maybe even knit while peddling. I can certainly watch my morning Gilmore Girls episode while peddling. Anywho, I'm very excited about this. And if all goes well, by the time I arrive in Disneyworld with the family, I'll be swimming pool ready!
