my wheels

I feel like I have a new lease on life.

Normally its such an effort for me to go anywhere, the walking is very hard because of the cmt, and i get exhausted. it means i'm very limited in where i go. and i have no vehicle right now.

But this month i have been using my sisters old bike (old - no brakes, squeaks, no shocks, . . ) and i can go places.

the first day i rode 5 blocks to school with the kids, then biked back home. could hardly walk into the house, my legs were like jelly!

4 weeks later, and i can ride into town, twice!

i used to hate bikes. too scared of the speed, and of falling/crashing.

i guess this is one fear i have overcome for the moment.

and the freedom is awesome!

i'm going to hate the snow, though. maybe i'll get a sled dog.
