Day 2 of getting back into the swing...

Day 2 of biking was another disaster, but I'm sticking with it.  By disaster, I mean that I made it 2/3 of the way up the hill to campus (remember that 750 foot incline in the span of 3 miles) and really could not go anymore.  I moved onto the sidewalk and out of the bike lane to give myself the option to get off and walk.  I got hot and tried to take off my helmet while still on the bike and crashed into the weeds.  Then, I had to walk the bike the final mile because I couldn't make it uphill any further!  

If only I had the four volt: 

Ahhh...but you know what, I felt GREAT afterward.  I felt tired as all hell and really out of shape, but I also felt too tired to be the anxious mess I have been lately.  In fact, I was too tired to be annoyed with the people who typically annoy me in my grad classes, which was a really good feeling.  Basically, extreme physical exertion is helping me to be a better person, and I'm totally down with that.  It seems like my body is charged with some kind of anxious energy right now that is going to go somewhere, and I would rather it spill out through my sweat on the hill than through verbal lashings or intense feelings of dislike toward other people.
