That Ye May Learn Wisdom
This week during my workouts I learned a few things:
1. I am ADDICTED to riding my bike. I like to workout in the morning, but I don't have a bike trailer for the girlies, so the next best option is doing it before the hubs goes to work, which means waking up at 4:50 in the morning, ugh... but very worth it. I've enjoyed the quiet hour of exhilarating bike riding before I get home to my babies, and yes, they both like to wake up around 6 am every day. yay... but seriously, bike riding is awesome! I may be looking into doing some bike races, although its slightly intimidating. I just need to sign up and do it. I want more time to ride my bike and feed my addiction!
2. Running intervals= new workout technique. I've never ran intervals, but this week I started. I hope it helps me with my speed. Its supposed to we will see, I'm already building my endurance with it. Wahoo!
3. Sweat from running on bug bites from biking early in the morning makes said bug bites its times ten.
4. Listening to http://mormonchannel.org/ while biking/running is a great way to spiritually uplift my day.
5. Watching my three year old do "push-ups" and running laps is super cute, and exciting. I hope she realizes exercise is really important!
6. Taking a little bit of time out of the week for some creative outlets is important for my sanity and is important for learning in general. We should always strive to be learning and becoming more intelligent and competent people. I've been tailoring some of my t-shirts to fit my arms better. I hope to get really good at refashioning my clothes, as there are quite a few that need to be taken in (ya buddy!).
7. I've learned that sometimes I need to take breaks. Today I did not exercise. My husband said that when I climbed out of bed I looked like I moved like an old women. I felt like one too! My joints are buggin big time! Dreaming about it doesn't help either. I can't wait for the rainy weather/tropical storm to blow over, so that my joints don't hurt. This overcast weather is killing me! How can I increase the weight I'm lifting if my fingers/ hand hurts too much to grip just about anything? Ugh. Anyhow, today I took a break from my normal workout, and will hit it hard tomorrow on the bike trail. Ya buddy! I need to learn to listen to my body and give it breaks when it hurts. I wish I could just wish this arthritis thing away. 25 year olds should not move like old people. Who wants to vote on it? I do!
8. I've also learned that Heavenly Father answers prayers. We prayed that they would pass some inspections at my husband's work and he did! Sometimes, Heavenly father answers in ways we don't like, but when he answers in ways we do like, it is quite nice. This was definitely one of those moments! I love my Father in Heaven and I'm so grateful that he cares about me. He cares about my desires and He wants me to be happy. I think that this is one of the greatest wisdoms that anyone can know.
