As I was sitting in my recliner last night, petting my hefty Beagle and watching the Cardinals dominate the Astros, I had the sudden realization that the day had passed and I had engaged in no physical exercise. It was nearly 9:00, but I decided that I needed to do something before I could call it a day.
So, without further ado, I put my dog, Macy May, down on the floor, and I went for a bike ride. I have a bright, flashing, red tail light on the seat post of my bike, and a very bright LED headlight on the handlebars for safety purposes. Fortunately, there wasn't a whole lot of traffic, so I rode in safety from my house, around the park, out to the Middle School, and then back home.
It wasn't a real long ride, but it was nice to see the town winding down its day while enjoying the cool, refreshing nighttime air. I don't think I'll make the night ride a habit, but I really enjoyed it last night, and I went to bed feeling better since I worked in at least a little exercise.
