79-year-old to the rescue
Unexpected angel running down the trail
Wednesday, September 30, 2020
Hello My Friend!
Bob and I came upon a LARGE tree branch
Blocking bike trail.
Off we got to move it aside.
Push, pull, twist, --- progress.
Final need was lifting branch to clear post.
Heavy, heavy, we couldn't lift high enough.
Behind us a voice,
"I'll help. I lift weights twice a week."
The women grasped branch beside us,
Heaved, and it was over.
Out of the way.
Off she went running down trail.
As I passed her on my bike, I commented on
Her weight-lifting strength.
She called out,
"Yep! Pretty good for 79-yrs-old!"
Point of this is
It's Never Too Late.
Strengthen your muscles,
Finish your project,
Start your new activity,
Follow your dream.
Bit-at-a-time,
Yes, You Can!
This week I reached my goal of
One Thousand miles ridden July to Sept 25.
That gives me Two Thousand for this ride season!
I am always amazed that
Consistent effort,
Even small amounts,
Accomplish the task.
Being persistent with riding is easy now.
Weather is mild.
I'm going to keep track of miles ridden
Until I deem it too cold.
I wonder how many I'll accumulate…
Hugs,
Lin

Gorgeous maple dressed in Autumn's brilliance.
Second 1,000 mile goal of this biking season complete. Daily rides adding up.

It's like a painting! Fall's natural canvas.
