Confession Time...Again.

It’s time that I reveal another truth about the real me.  Give me a minute, this is kind of a big deal.

...c’mon, Kelly, you gotta tell ‘em.  Stop keeping this to yourself...

        i ride a stationary bike.  

...Kelly, you’re still holding back.  The whole truth this time...

       i ride a stationary bike...in a group.

There, I said it. It’s who I am, it’s what I do, and I’m proud of it.  So, hate on me if you want, but at least it’s out there now.

Yes, it’s true that on a stationary bike, you work and work and never get anywhere.  

     -I ask you, is that not also true in other aspects of life?

It’s also true that you’re not out enjoying the scenery and nature and stuff.  

     -True enough, but we’ve also had one of the rainiest springs on record;

     yesterday I saw some animals heading two-by-two somewhere.

And I know that cyclists should be, you know, on two wheels. With a stationary bike, I’m only on one and it doesn’t even touch the ground.

     -Guilty as charged.

Here’s how I’ve justified it to myself:

• You never coast on a stationary bike.  It’s constant work, so it’s a very efficient way to train.
• High-intensity cardio tends to happen better for me when I’m being pushed by somebody else.
• It fits my work schedule.
• I’m noticing when I’m cycling out on the road, I’m lighter and faster.
• Mrs. C kinda likes the new me.

‘nuff said.
