About a month or so ago, I briefly mentioned it to a dear friend of mine. She looks at me and says, "Well, I have one you can have. I am getting a new bicycle soon. As soon as I get it, you can have my Trike." What?! I was in complete shock! What amazing timing & an awesome blessing!
I admit, I am not a very patient person. So I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of her new bike, so I could get my trike. Well, I finally got the Trike on July 30th! She is lavender. I have named her Lulu. I am not sure who is more excited about me having a Trike, Lil Man, or me! Sadly, I had to wait a couple days to get air in the tires before I could go on my first ride. The wait was killing me! I don't think I have ever been that excited to exercise.
8/2- I have to admit, every time I had to turn a corner on my first ride, I got off & manually turned the Trike. I was worried I would take the corner too wide or not wide enough and crash. So for my 2nd ride, I decided I would go the the church parking lot and practice circles and turning corners. I did about 1/2 mile worth of practicing. After my practice, I felt confident enough to take all 4 turns/corners without getting off the bike to get home.
I have been a bit sore from using muscles I forgot I even had. But on a good note, so far non of the biking has caused a Fibro flare up! Which is very very good news.
