Woke up, did my a.m. yoga, made breakfast (okay, brunch) and got my bike ready to head out. It was still a bit cold for biking but knew I had to get outside.
I went back to Beach Drive to do my 90 minute ride. The first half was


Now this bike was supposed to be a 90 min "get out and ride, get used to the bike, and aero riding as well as the surroundings. No pace or heart rate info. Just ride easy, and enjoy." This sounds like Zen Biking to me. I did pretty good at not looking at the distance, however was not good with the heart rate. I kept looking and was so annoyed that it was so high! I kept telling my self "Zen bike, you are zen biking". It didn't work.

MONICA: "Hi, it's Monica. I'm just checking in 'cause I got this message from you and I didn't know if it was old or new or what. So, I'm just checkin'. So let me know, or don't, whatever. I'm breezy."
JOEY: Hey, you can't say you're breezy, that, that totally negates the breezy.
I think it's the same thing with biking. Saying you are biking zen negates the actual biking in a zen state.
