How do you feel RIGHT this moment? "I'm ________________"

Not open for further replies.
I do, roughly, a 15 mile round trip every day, in all weathers. It's much nicer and easier in the Summer/Autumn though ;)

I used to hate it in summer. Always felt like I would pass out going over Dawson Bridge and up Rowland's Hill. I love the River Valley here, but somedays I hate that it is a Valley. And thusly it has a hill that extends up for Half a mile. Not a very gentle slope either, but with a viscous turn in it to make you need to arc. Sucked too because it was right near the beginning of the ride.

Some 25 kilometers there. Took a little more than an hour. I felt amazing about being able to do it every single day.

And now I wonder I did not buy a car?

I cannot even imagine how I used to do this.

Some 25 kilometers there and back. Took a little more than an hour. I felt amazing about being able to do it every single day.

Wow, that's impressive. I like riding in the summer, the scenery here is gorgeous and, fortunately, the cycle paths are really well maintained. Plus I don't have to wear nearly have as many clothes as I do in the winter time which for me is one of the best things about it! In the summer I can usually do 10km in around 20 mins which feels awesome! In the winter, depending on the temp, the amount of layers one has to wear and the snow it can be more like 40 mins!
 
Sleep is good. Hope things straighten out for ya hon. If not I'm sure M has a solution he would like to offer :D

Thanks FD. :kiss: Yeah, he did and threw in a tender scolding too. But I didn't mind so much. I knew I deserved it and he scolds because he cares. It's all good.

So far, so good. I'm just hoping it was just that little heat spike we had yesterday was the source of the trouble. Today is suppose to be slightly milder.

Winter is suicide here. I like walking, and I don't mind biking. But in -40? With two foot snow drifts. And the chance on any night to have 40 cm of white drop?

Nope. Not biking in the winter.

And 10km in 20 minutes is impressive. 25 takes me a little over an hour. So I guess we know who wins in a race. Saddens me. I'll just have to outlast you.

Oh, I cycle like a maniac and after those 20 minutes are up I am useless, believe me, you'd beat me easily in anything longer! ;)

Awww. Sounds like you could use a back and thigh massage. Just lie on your tummy right here, and spread a little to give me access, and we'll get right on that.

I'm oh so helpful.

You are very helpful...

willingly goes and lies down, resting head on folded arms

...to be honest I find my muscles aren't too bad, it's the whole panting/red cheeked element to it all that's the worst...but please, massage away

grins

Oh with pleasure. But maybe we should take that somewhere else. So we are no longer hijacking 'How do you feel right this moment...' with Massage descriptions.

Though hands on your body I feel.... Magical.

skips off to the pool, hoping the man with the magical hands will follow

Right now, I feel you may be right ;)
 
A little bit tired. Trouble sleeping last night leads to sluggishness the following day. Nods.
 
Really???

:confused:

:eek:

:rolleyes:

YAY!!! :D

I don't know, but that's what they always told me.



Also, I realized something... as the Easter Bunny, I'd have power over chocolate eggs, and by extension over all the chocolate everywhere. Sure, maybe you can take my teeth. But I can take your chocolate. I'm betting I know which one you'd rather have!

Hey, it is the ones we love who are worth a little scolding.
 
gently nudges him back into it

There you go...

How do I feel...a bit sad because it's raining, all that lovely sunshine seems to have disappeared!

Smiles at her and gives her a quick nudge back, then pulls her in for a quick kiss. Well, I hope you managed to enjoy it yesterday, darlin'. He pulled her against him and lightly strokes a finger through her hair.

Wraps arms tightly around him and snuggles her cheek against his chest

Sorry to hear you've not been sleeping well...
