I had coffee on Saturday morning with Morty. I haven’t seen him much in the last 18 months and not at all since early fall last year… It was great to see him and we instantly fell back into our old jovial “poking fun” manner. In a moment of prodding I challenged him about the bike ride across Iowa that he skipped out on last year and said I would do it again only if he committed to it and actually went this year! We weren’t sure if the bus had filled up yet but I received an email from Morty this afternoon telling me that it’s too late to back out and we are confirmed for the trip!
In true Morty fashion, the smack talk has already begun! He quickly emailed the “Reedster” and said that we were in and that he would have an opportunity to take my Downhill Speed Record (DHSR)…. ( I hit 48 mph last year as I pulled around Reedster to take the title!)….
Morty to Reedster
“Randy is going to give you a second chance at the down hill speed record.”
Reedster to Morty
“Now that I know Randy’s sand bagging tricks I will be prepared to wrestle the DHSR from his cheating hands!”
Me back to the both of them…
“Sand bagging? It was total tactical mastery at its finest. I need to finally hit that elusive 50 mark this year!”
So as they say… oh its on! I think I found that little motivation I needed to get serious about health… and wellness… and most importantly my fitness again.
