It seems like I only hear about habits when folks are trying to break them. Anything from nail-biting to smoking, I always hear the grumbles of friends saying that habits are bad... but what about good habits?
Ever since I started to work @ home, I have focused more and more on forming habits (mostly the good kind). Daily routines are a must, and my hardest one so far has been waking up early. On the other hand, my favorite one has been exercising on a regular basis. Time has been preventing this for the past year-and-a-half. Now, as the Rolling Stones say, "time is on my side," and my lunch break is spent in a fitness center or on the American River Bike Trail.
The American River goes right through Sacramento and the locals have done a pretty good job keeping it maintained. The American River Parkway starts at Folsom Lake (NW of downtown) and goes 23 miles to Old Sac, creating a stage for a system of small parks the whole way through. Fortunately, bike trails keep on going all the way through the Greenhaven/Pocket neighborhood.
Right now, I've been doing 15 miles/day for lunch but I hope to get that to 20-30 miles in the near future. My butt needs time to adjust to frequent bike mileage... woe is me. The tunes for today's ride: Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.
