Totally had a moment

ON MY BEAUTIFUL BIKE PATH! Oh, the sun was so gorgeous. I was inspired by the weather + getting out of work early today, thus, I decided to blade to my old bike path by the old apartment. After some research it looked as though this might be possible without having to do any urban (sidewalk) blading. This wasn't exactly the case, as Phase C is not yet complete, but I didn't mind. Urban blading is always interesting and seeing how there were NO casualties it was a breeze. Plus, I had an awesome playlist consisting of:

- Well, Well (Nelly Furtado)

- Not Coming Home (Maroon 5)

- Shiver (Coldplay)

- Hear Me (Kelly Clarkson)

- We Looked Like Giants (Death Cab for Cutie)

- Breath Me (Sia -SFU Soundtrack)

- Amazing Life (Jem -SFU Soundtrack)

- High and Dry (Jamie Cullum)

- La Mer (Nine Inch Nails)

- Trouble (Coldplay)

My goal was to make it to the spot on the path (a favorite place of mine) where the trees bend together and touch at the top. As psychosis would have it, I failed to realize that this was the goal I'd had when I lived at the old apartment and coming from my new apartment would add about TWO MILES on the way there, and more importantly TWO MILES on the way back. Well, thankfully I made it to the spot where the trees bend together and I stretched it even a little further because I knew there would be some benches I could lay down on. Yes, I laid down, and I elevated my feet to get some blood back to my brain. I didn't see a single fellow rollerblader the entire time, and my playlist only lasted until the halfway point, it was up to Maroon 5 to get me home after that, and I'm really glad/surprised that I made it.

I always thought I'd leave Wisconsin, and then I fell in love with Madison. Now that I think about it... I think I fell in love with Madison right about the time I discovered my first section of bike path. Quite a coincidence that my old favorite section is being connected to my new favorite section, don't you think? I always knew I wouldn't want to leave the people, and now I know I don't want to leave this place either.
