I got two rides in today. I was supposed to have meetings all day, but the kid got sick and the wife had school so I stayed home. I tried to ride the rollers but due to being in a funk lately, I only rode for 30 minutes.
It was rainy and chilly all day, it didn't help my head space, but I did my best to keep a positive attitude.
The wife came home and I made it to an afternoon meeting which was very encouraging and exciting.
I got back home in time to get outside on my road bike. I had about 2 hrs so I headed south on the parkway for 45 minutes before turning around and heading home.
I recently got fit at Liberty Bicycles. The fit was long overdue and I have not been able to afford it, but things worked out and I went for it. It turns out that even though I was riding stronger than ever before, I was too far forward and too low in my position on the bike. Now that I'm more stretched out, I can feel a huge difference, only the muscles are not used to the activity, so it's a little like starting a couple of months ago. But, I'm sure that the legs will come around pretty quickly and the guys at Liberty will wish they had left my fit alone!!
Since I did not have much time, I pushed hard, made the legs burn, recovered, then did it again. Several times. It was great and now I have my legs propped up, content and recovering.
I look forward to another ride.
