07/15/20 Today was an awesome day. I got in a late bike ride 16 miles. I was in the zone because I had no concept of time I just kept riding and exploring the city. I love these kinds of rides. They don’t happen often but when they do I just roll with it and live in the moment. I went around WestGate Mall and the Cardinals stadium. My second post will have a video I took. I went around the back of the stadium and took video of the field. They had it outside today as it is on a track system and it can be rolled in and out of the stadium floor. It’s pretty cool how they built that track system. I’m sure there’s videos online of that stadium and the time lapse when it was being built. When I go for a ride, workout, a run or just go for a walk I always listen to music through my earbuds. Music is like therapy for me. Music helps me stay in the moment and focus on what’s right in front of me. And of course music motivates me. If your driving around Peoria or Phoenix you might see me jamming on my bike dancing to music. Ya that’s right I dance while riding. Sounds crazy but is it? It’s no different than when you’re home alone and your favorite song comes on you can’t help but get up and dance and move to the music. If you have never done that before then I suggest giving it a try someday. It helps release those endorphins and sometimes if you’re really jamming you might get some oxytocin’s thrown in as well. Oh man what a great feeling. I stopped a few times for water and a snack while at the mall. I do push-ups to failure then rest for a bit. I do push-ups before I begin my ride too. This is how I get my workouts in while my gym remains closed. We improvise and adapt. Just because gyms are closed is no excuse to NOT workout or do something good for ourselves right? The last time I checked excuses don’t burn calories. Until the next workout always remember, ‘You Cannot Out Train A Bad Diet’ Gregorio #noexcuses2020 #live4today (at Westgate Entertainment District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCsKlS-hLGl/?igshid=1dgnnrq3jml0y
