Feeling very happy with myself

October 12, 2018 By nextphaseinfitness 4 Comments

Feeling very happy with myself

I did it!  A few days ago, I forced myself to get back on the bike.  I know that doesn’t sound like much of an ‘I did it’ moment. But in my world, just now, it’s a huge step forward. Or perhaps I should say it’s a huge pedal forward. For most of my life […]
