Had an okay ride this morning while watching one of the morning chat shows. Rode 5.5 miles in 30 minutes. That's the best I've done this week. It's hard for me to ride when I'm unusually sad. I understand. I tend to shut down extreme feelings, or at least I try to. Unfortunately, almost everything else shuts down too.
But something that surprised me is finding that I can't ride while listening or watching funny comedy skits. A week or so ago I was listening to Richard Pryor and had to get off the bike. These were jokes I've heard hundreds of times and I wasn't even laughing very hard, but laughing at all affected my ride and I just couldn't go on. Go figger.
