When my spin studio closed down in March, I broke a nearly two-year riding streak that, if seen to completion, would have meant riding my 450th ride on my 45th birthday.
I was devastated but also kind of relieved. You know how when you approach the finish line, it gets a little scary? Like you’re excited, but also emotionally attached to the motivation and journey, a little intimated by what comes next? Total head game.
At first, I substituted outdoor biking and YouTube exercise videos. But by mid-summer, I had to accept it just wasn’t the same. I missed the community, the competition, the routine, the escape.
Ironically, physical fitness took a backseat in 2020. Even though I know resilience and immunity correlate to good health, it felt more comforting, more like self-care, to dial it back this year. I think that’s why I gained the COVID 10.
