B the Bike

Well, I’m glad you asked. I’ve made a few changes over the weekend, which will indirectly impact my cycling.

1. I listed my television on Craigslist for sale. Less TV = More Health = Better Cycling (it took far too long for me to learn that equation).
2. I’ve completed the paperwork to list my house on the market. Positive Movement Towards My Big Picture Goals = Improved Mental Health = Better Cycling.
3. I’ve freed myself to be totally unguarded with the woman I Love.

Considering the quality equations above it is really no surprise that I was on the math team. I wish I could make words sing like I do engineering specs!

So now I wait. Will I be able to sleep knowing that Christmas comes tomorrow? At 6pm on Tuesday I’ll be receiving the original SequoiaFast from Tri City Bicycles. I’m brimming with anticipation.

Today I experienced my first true feeling of doubt about my ability to make the trip. The doubt I felt was miniscule, but it is important I identify its first appearance here in my training narrative. I anticipate doubt will become more present the more I train and push my body. Everyone knows that courage is not the absence of fear, but acting despite the presence of fear. I hope I am courageous in my cycling journey.

So to ensure success I need some very important things to happen:

1. I must choose a theme song (something totally kick ass)
2. I must give the journey a name (like Rambo:First Blood only not totally lame)
3. I need to shut up and get on the damn bike. (Tomorrow)

I had a vegetarian day today. Any suggestions for themes are welcome.
