...dictates your everyday, extracurriculear life here. Maybe that is why it gets mentioned so often here on "the schedule." If its warm, cycling. Snowing, skiing. Raining...wait five minutes, go cycling. Cold and dry, football in the park. Warm and dry, frisbee in the park. So on, so forth.
But then there is the "I did it because I could..."
I go skiing in October. Not because the pickin' is good - but because I could. Arapahoe Basin and Loveland start blowing man-made as soon as the dial starts dropping below 32 at night just so they can compete to be the first to open. When they do, we run out there once or twice just to make a few turns. Just because we are blessed to live in the same place that God does (Colorado), and just because we can.
During the summertime, I cycle. I ride a lot. I do it because I love it, but I also do it to train for the next race - whichever that one may be. If you go ride once a week, sure, its better than sitting on the couch - but its not going to get you into shape. But if it is December, sunny, and 60 - you just do it because you can. Take that, mother nature.
