In reading a Carmichael book on cycling, it stated that to be in excellent shape, you should be able to do 3 miles in 8 minutes. Well, on Saturday, I scared the heck out of 8 minutes. I was only 3 seconds over. Next time I do my fit test, I will break the 8 minute barrier. The first half of the fit test did not go well. It took me about 9 minutes but it was cold and the legs, although having ridden for 20 minutes, were still cold as well. After getting warmed up and the buffers flowing, I blew out the second 3 mile stint. Amazing as well was my heart rate was almost identical, 167 to 166. The increase in heart rate for the fit test also was a good thing. I can sustain longer at a higher threshold. All the riding is helping, not only psychologically but physically as well. This was the second good thing that happened to me this weekend.
On Friday night, I got the call. It actually did come. They made an offer that I cound not refuse. I have since worked out some details and accepted. Onward and upward we will go. I know that moving is difficult. It is hard to find new friends and be able to trust people. At least we will have the church and other members to help us. It is nice to know that they are there for us. We worked on the house and met with a real estate agent on Monday night. Now, if all continues as it has been going, this too will work out to our benefit. Patience and faith, soon enough we will be on to the next chapter as well.
