I have been retired a week. Still trying to figure out how to do this. It is a doubled edge sword being retired, it is nice to have my calendar freed up like this. But I also find that I feel at a loss of what to do. Jan says that it takes a while to get use to retirement. I still wake up early but then feel no rush to get going. I make coffee and watch the news or a movie and drink my coffee. Leisurely.
One thing that I have been doing almost every day is riding my bike. This month I have already ridden 86 miles. Typically I ride about 10 miles each time I go out. This month I'm trying to up that average by adding a mile or 2 each day I ride. By March I'd like to be doing 15 miles each ride. I've already picked out a turn around spot on the causeway.
This would be a nice place to turn around plus the view is great. The main reason I ride my bike is for the exercise. Those that know me remember that 6 years ago I had a quadruple bypass. Not a good time. But I got through that and now I have the time to devote to my own health. I visited my cardiologist today and got a very good report I think it was from all the bike riding I have been doing.
Tomorrow I'm going to start organizing (throwing stuff away) the garage, I'm sure there will be a story there so stay tuned.
