Went to the sports center this morning. This time I sat in the long hall facing window to the outside. I struggled with the bike. I could not get it to go on the easy setting. I pushed all the buttons over and over again. I don't know how long I actually rode the bike because at some point I just got off. I wonder if the mechanism was broken or I was just incompetent.

then I went to a friend's house for some encouragement. She is two years past the point I am now and is healthy and active.

I will try again tomorrow.
