Casual biking and walking and talking moments
Even while exercising, it can be healthy to vent about stuff.
So I guess you could call this the exercise vlog section.
Begin.

Trying to enjoy nature while in the city can be challenging at times
Trying to enjoy nature within the city can be challenging at times, with all the pollution, noise, cars, traffic, litter, the smells.
It's why I actually like when hurricanes come through, not directly, but just catching the outer bands tends to clean up the air, like a vacuum cleaner.
Oh well, gotta make the best of it.
On day nature will reclaim it all.

How to measure the size of your bike wheels
I'm tall, so I need a tall bike, a bike that stands tall.
And not into no unisex bike type of crap.

Took what should have been a fairly routine bike ride, but than when way out, tire became flat, and so had to walk back, probably maybe 2.5 miles? 3 at the most.
Either way it was unplanned, took energy and cost me time.
Had a drunken night, texted some stupid stuff, and today, well today, I'm here.

I can tell I'm not in as good of shape as I was a month ago, at the moment.
Because about a month ago, if I didn't work out twice a day, in the morning, then at night, I'd go nuts.
It was common for me to break out the bike and go riding at night...now though, nope, now by the time night rolls around I feel heavy and sappy....I've gotta change that, I've gotta get back in the shape I was a month ago and back.
Drinking slowed me down, that's got to go also.

Also, I think fitness and happiness are related; fitness, happiness and hope.
A month ago and back, I worked out more, but I also had more hope about my future.
A month ago, I felt like a champ, today, right now, as I type this, I kind of feel like a chump, as such less inclined to just go workout after dark like I did a few months ago.
I've got to snap out of this slump for sure.

I ended up taking that bike ride after allI ended up taking that bike ride after all, so glad I did. I need to recapture the enthusiasm and vigor I had all throughout the summer, and the hope that drove me. I want, need, that 'me' back...that happy me, no matter the odds, always happy and putting a positive spin on things, that's the me I really do need right now. I need the me that's both mentally and physically fit, for my age, and I need the tough me. I need a lot of me's right now to be frank, but just the positive sides. =============================== Where I stay, it's still relatively warm at night, so able to walk or bike even after dark. In fact, I was wearing shorts and a muscle shirt, and almost sweating. Anyways, that's just the first step on rebuilding myself up. If fit and confident, I can handle anything, it's when I start drinking, again, and become lazy, and paranoid, and sad and depressed, is when the world becomes to much for me to handle.

Continued from above...⬆️⬆️⬆️
But I'm also old enough and lived enough to know you can't totally overcome a slump in your mood overnight from one good bike ride.
It takes days, sometimes a week of bad mental and physical habits to slide into a slump, and sometimes it can take just as long to slide out of it.
But the slide out starts with one good responsible decision at a time....and you really have to want it.
When I'm down, no one, I mean no one cares, so it's not like there's anyone there to feel sorry for me...I have to remind myself of that.
When I'm in pain, no one cares, when society doesn't like you, they just don't care how you feel as long as you're not around them.
That aside, since no one cares, what's the point of getting sad and depressed when I'd be the only one feeling it?
Anyways, nights still young, maybe I can get a few more things done before I start spacing off.
