It’s been a while since my last entry. My apologies. I have lots to blog about but apparantly lost momentum, like many people do with their exercise plans. I’m back now! I’ll blog about getting back on my road bike a year after my accident, which resulted in an ambulance ride to the ER. I sustained a laceration to the head and a concussion. The rest of me was fine, except that I was shaken. I was riding in the city, commuting to an appointment. The last thing I remember was being airborne. When I regained consciousness, everything was slowed down. I was slower.
I needed to recover, which meant no exercise. It was a very challenging time for me, having a near fatal accident and then beginning a recovery period. My work was much more difficult. All aspects of my life were impacted. I emerged stronger and grateful to be alive!
A year later and I am back on my bike. I was initially scared, because a part of me wanted to resume riding, while another part was afraid I’d get injured again. Once I got on the bike and felt the breeze on my skin, and the familiar feel of cycling, my anxiety passed. I was not going to stop cycling because of my accident, or due to fear. The time was right and so I quickly seized the moment, grabbed life by the horns and off I rode with it!
