How quick are you gonna get up "Just do it"

Feeling - not too bad. Ready for a ride.

I woke up in a bad mood but ready to. I got my long ride in this afternoon - 16 miles. While I was out on the ride I thought of posting "Bol**** to this" or something similar. The temperature outside was 27F and the last gift my Mum got me was some winter riding gear. Boy did that come in handy today. Now aparently I'm a bit out of shape and have a long way to go but I started thinking of things to inspire me. My music selection was not helping. It kept shuffling to Chris Deburgh "Lady in Red" and Bryan Adams "Everything I do" so that didnt help.

Then I remember the Nike commercial with Lance Armstrong at the end. It took a bit to google but its "How quick are you gonna get up" by The Hours-Ali in the Jungle. It reminded me of how I feel. Knocked down, mentally battered and trying to build it back up. When I look down I think whos gut is this? Where did it come from? Getting back on the horse with "I used to be able to do this easy" is a killer. Its better to just say "I will do this and pick it up". So the add gave me some inspiration today to get through. There are others but this is the one that did it today.
