I did get some good advice at one point---I was told it was important to "Look the part". You know wear the right dress---have the right toys---etc etc. I could never understand WHY I would spend a lot of $s on clothes to sweat in while running at 5 AM--WHO COULD SEE---WHO CARED--WHO KNEW? So I always wore my oldies but goodies---you know they are clothes you are sweating in!
As I have told you---I have picked up my exercise. Well I am still wearing the same old clothes that I have run in FOREVER--but at 5:15 when our run starts are you out there looking at us?
NO I think not---SO I am concentrating on the "Look" for biking. NOW I bought a "Used-but New to Me" bicycle------but I just can NOT wrap my head around spending thousands---YES I said thousands--for a really good bicycle. SO I CAN afford a good bike rack for my car--my little--great mileage car! So today--I went and had the local bike shop---install my new bike rack---AND drum roll---I am having clip pedals installed on my bicycle---this may mean---DEATH to me! SO if I get flattened into a grease spot while riding---I plan to LOOK the part.
Have you ever ridden a bicycle--the secret to survival is the padded pants---PADDING in the rear---PICTURE IT!! I am conflicted about this---but in a movement to remain "NOT CRAZY"--I am having a pair of riding pants made special for me----
ACROSS THE REAR--- PADDED
NOT AS LARGE AS APPEARS!
PS---to the reader that is needing personal advice---I think we need a more intimate conversation-email me convilles@gmail.com

Do you honestly think I have the courage to email you directly? Do you know how difficult it is to even respond to a blog or to have a conversation on a blog or to be terrified of being recognized or found out. This is humilating to even be in the situation and have to ask a perfect stranger for advice. So obviously I will not be emailing you, but I will continue to read with interest and with the hope your advice and life experiences will finally sink in. I do enjoy your blog and I think you are a sincere and wonderful person who maybe God has put in my life and the lives of many of us, to show us who He is. So thank you and I encourage you to keep on writing and from time to time I might offer a "civil" comment. Thank you very much.
Anonymous, you have shown far greater courage to respond in an open forum where others can put in their opinions as well. You could friend and private message if you did not want to email. She would have not given you the option if she were not serious about encouraging you. So please reconsider as God does work in mysterious ways.
