#spontaneity

Structure works-especially if you're building endurance or getting ready for a long-distance tour. Planning keeps you honest and makes your progress visible. Hit weekly mileage, tempo, and climbing goals Balance hard days with real recovery Track event readiness with data you trust Explore new areas with fewer wrong turns I'll often sketch a route in Strava and send it to my Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT V2 for turn-by-turn navigation. That keeps me on task-though it does shave off a bit of the mystery.

That "one more rep" turned into ten more exercises, each more punishing than the last. By the end, I was convinced my legs had filed for emancipation. My tank top could've been used to mop the floor. And yet... beneath the exhaustion was a wild, inexplicable sense of aliveness. As we collapsed onto the grass post-torture, I tilted my head to the sky-not for inspiration, but perhaps divine rescue. Instead, I got clouds. Big, moody ones, rolling in fast.

Creativity is unpredictable. Sometimes it comes easily, while sometimes it stubbornly refuses to flow. A musician can fumble...but nothing comes through.
