last night i tossed and turned all night - so needless to say, the crankiness was still in the air since i awoke tired and still achy from the weeks of training ive been building into.
"one more day" i told myself - then a day off, then a big weekend of miles, then a whole week ez....cant wait to get there. the trick however, is to get there healthy...
this morning, JP picked me up at 5 and we headed north - about 90 minutes and set off for the climbs ranging up to 14%. you can imagine the added crabbiness when i realized my front derailer didn't work, the cable was wack, and i had limited access to my small chain ring. so, here we go - all the hills for 66 miles in the big chain ring. YEAH! whatever...
well, it went fine. two loops, no problem. then a 40 minute run up and over red bluff and back. tried a little off road action, and that got a little hairy, but a good run nonetheless. warm, but not hot and steamy. it was an awesome day.
we made it home by 1:30, then time to unload, swim a little to loosen up, then off to pick up some dinner, a bottle of red wine, and yes, a little ice cream. yummmmm....i've earned it :-)
now time to chill out and watch my favorite night of comedy tv...
