Is this what it feels like?

After a somewhat stressful day at work yesterday, I decided to hit the gym and work through some of that pent up energy. I had pretty low expectations since I figured my brain would be in a million other places. But as I settled in on the bike, everything else drained away, sort of like it does during a good run. I could hear my breathing, even over my music and it was rhythmic and pushed me even harder. I realized about 20 minutes in that I was going a lot faster than I had before. By the time I got to my 2 minute cool down I had already passed my PR. I've hung around 2:22 a mile for a while now and I crushed that last night with 2:15 a mile. Of course, I couldn't be satisfied with that alone. So I maxed my lat pull too. :-) I'm at 140 now and I'm on my way to pull ups. I could stand to feel like I did last night every night but then again, maybe getting it infrequently is part of what makes it special. Whatever it is, I'm still floating.
