My Mongoose

Just a couple of weeks ago I was thinking of a way to pump up my daily workout. I thought about rollerblading because I have a pair in the closet. Then I thought that was a bad idea because I really don't know how to roller blade & that's probably why they are sitting in the closet collecting dust. Also rollerblading all the way to Tropical park before & after boot camp is out of the question. I will probably need an ambulance instead. Then I thought, if I only had a bike. I called Carlos my boo and asked him if he would get me a bike. He said he will see what he can do & call me back. Within an hour he calls me back & says "I got you a bike" I screamed with happiness & was excited the rest of the day waiting to see my bike. Later that night I got home & my bike was already home & to my surprise it was a Mongoose. I don't know much about bikes but I had heard that Mongoose is a good bike for beginners, & no he didn't go out & buy me a brand new Mongoose, one of his employees just happen to have the bike that he was not using anymore so he sold it ;) OMG I am so excited with my bike! My dreams are coming true. On my dream board I have pictures of being fit & riding bike. I have always wanted to be one of those annoying triathlon bikers that take up the whole street & they are up on the weekends by 6:00 am riding into the sunrise. But I don't think I'm going to do any of the triathlon-ing yet, I nearly ate the concrete the first couple of times I rode. The last time I was a regular rider was in Chicago when I was 13. That was a long time ago, so none the less I have some getting use to.
I'm still trying to get the hang of it but my mongoose is really going to get me on the fitness track that I have been looking for. I have only had it for a little over 2 weeks & it has been raining allot so I haven't been able to ride my minimum of 3 times a week consistently. But when I can I ride from home in Kendall to Tropical Park in the morning. It takes me an hour, according to google maps its less than 10 miles. Then I do my boot camp class for an hour and a half then I ride back home 10 miles another hour. Wow what a workout! Feel the burn baby! My legs are on fire! Of course the results are amazing.
