How can I do it? Please…someone tell me.
It’s so important:
for health,
for wellness, (and not just better bio-markers),
for vitality,
vigor even.
All this, and it makes you tingle too.
Yes I am a little giddy.
I just finished riding my bike in mud and grass. There were many other people—nice ones, with good hearts (and legs). People trying to be–almost “normal.â€
It was just a Wednesday cyclocross practice.
Did I say there was an orangy sunset, a cool autumn breeze and happy animals buzzing around too? The dogs and squirrels seemed to look at us with envy.
An aging cardiologist, a realtor, a litigator, a new Dad got to duel with high-schoolers. The omega and the alpha. “Go bike, Go.!†Word has it there was even a philosophy major in attendance. Lest you think we cyclists are witless, or Conservative.
So why can’t I convince my patients of the wonders of what their body could do? They don’t have to ride in mud, or slog through an Ironman, or calcify their coronaries by running like Forest Gump. All they have to do is something that makes them sweat–every day that they eat. Something fun.
No pills; just the sweet elixir of trying hard, moving fast, being alive. Check the p-value on that!
It’s so close, and yet so far.
I’ll keep trying to spread the word.
And I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
