Anyways I am reporting on my new experience of the month. You may remember that when I made the decision to try and get fit I also wanted to make sure I tried new fitness activities to keep my life (and fitness life) interesting.
July was free weights - which I love and continue to do now!
August was metafit - which I love and aim to continue to do!
September - was mountain biking.
Anyways he invited me out for a trial of mountain biking! We headed to 7stanes in Dumfries, and the wee soul even paid for my bike hire as a birthday present! It was pouring from the heavens when I picked up my cous, and the feeling of dred was getting heavier and heavier as we got closer to the mountains.....
Luckily the rain held off as we started our ascent! I very quickly felt well out of my depth, I kept slipping and sliding all over the place, couldn't work the gears, kept having to walk up bits. I went very quiet, and out of breathe, and instantly just thought "I HATE THIS!!!!"
But after a wee while we had got onto parts that were flatter, or had some more downhill bits. The rain stayed off, the sun even came out, and I managed to get more of the gears worked out. I suddenly found myself peddling along, and smiling!
Not just smiling....LAUGHING!!
4 hours later we fly down the hill (I say fly, I was crawling...but it felt like flying). I was soaked, I was dirty from my toes to my hair and I was completely high! I had an amazing time and I am totally go gonna back. My whole body is stiff as hell but I felt amazing, I felt proud and I felt like I had achieved something.
September - Done!!
October....... Rock Climbing!!!
