We’ve all experienced it…the same old route, the crappy weather, the tiredness from staying up too late. I’m talking about being really uninspired to ride our bikes to work — burnout is always a possibility, no matter how fun and rewarding a bike ride can be.
Need something to inspire you on those “dark days” when you just don’t feel like pedaling and are eyeing the car keys? Look no further than this special lady:
This is Leah…7 months pregnant with our second child. She rides her bike 6 miles to work three days a week, works a 12 hour shift (on her feet) each time as a critical-care RN at an extremely busy hospital, then gets on her bike and rides six miles home. That extra exercise is good for her and good for the baby; nevertheless, her coworkers and friends think she’s a bit crazy for riding this far into her pregnancy.
When it’s rainy or I just have a hard time in the mornings getting out the door, I need look no further than Leah for some much-needed inspiration. Next time you’re feeling lazy, think about her and give it a go — if she can do it, WE can do it!
Off she goes!
