Freedom

Pedaling a bike on a beautiful day like today was refreshing, I even enjoyed the burn of my thighs as i climbed up the small hills of Fort Hood justing going coast to coast... one side to the other.

Running on a treadmill, or even biking on a stationary bike, does not give me the same feeling as actually riding a bike, or actually running. being stationary offers nothing, not even an ounce of false motivation to get a workout. but moving somewhere, heading to a destination, feeling the wind rush by as you cut through the air, that gives me the want to keep going.

I'm not a gym person, i probably won't ever be, i only go becasue we go there for PT sometimes, for these crossfit exersises. sure i might feel the workout, but does it help for the PT tests? guess i'll find out soon enough with the upcoming record test... granted i'm only lacking in the run and i know i've improved since i last took one... nearly a year ago because i jsut got to the unit, which had been deployed.

The freedom to move, however, is greatly welcomed. not only am i able to explore the area a little more, but i can get a good workout at the same time.

and maybe, i can improve where i have been lacking.

  1. Good luck with that PT test! I'm glad you were able to take that refreshing bike ride too:) It is definitely better to be outdoors in just about any situation, IMO (for exercise or for just being outside).
