Day 185: Nine miles and counting

For most of my nearly 60 years, I've had difficulty finishing what I started. So I suppose it was a bit impulsive of me to decide to clock 500 miles on my stationary bike. Still, I think I might actually keep this promise to myself.

After three sessions on the bike, I'm closing in on 10 miles. That might not sound like much, but after a sedentary winter it's real progress. I still have 490 miles to go, but no one's keeping score except me. All in good time.

Lately, as I find myself slipping into old bad habits, I think of my upcoming 60th birthday and wonder: Geez, Mar, how much longer are you going to do THAT?

My 60th birthday is a good opportunity to rethink my bad habits and make another promise to myself: Not much longer.
