Today I drove the U-Haul truck from Port Townsend to Sequim to drop it off. My plan was to bring my bicycle along, bike from the drop-off to the bus stop, and catch the bus back home. This bus only runs about every 3 hours, so it was important to time things correctly. I failed.
First, I didn't have internet access working in the new house, so I couldn't look up bus info, and couldn't remember it well.
Second, I wasn't paying attention to the clock.
Third, I rode my bike on the wrong path. Here's what I could have done:

(Assume I cut across that sharp left turn that Google Maps won't let me do, because it thinks this is for a car.)
But I turned left too early, and meandered around for a while. Here's what I did instead:

That's 7.5 miles. I'm pretty impressed with myself, considering how long it has been since I was in shape, and how, with the move & everything, the last couple months have been little exercise and a gain of 10 pounds.
And then, after the bus ride, I rode the bike up the big hill to the house.
And then, I put the babies in the stroller, and walked to the grocery store to get dinner for the family.
I'm feeling proud of myself, and very hopefull for my future exercise.

For a quick moment I said "oh no!" inside. Then I remembered how awesome it feels when you accomplish something like that. Especially when it involves exercising.
