This week, I realized that I can no longer achieve the bike miles I did while I was unemployed. I did pretty well for 2 years. But I felt the physical struggle last fall. With my dad’s accident, I just don’t have the time to ride that much. And it is OK.

I pumped up the tires and changed the battery  in the cadence sensor. Felt like something was wrong. Thought my brake was rubbing against the tire. Turns out my tire was running against the frame.

The road at Beardsley and MPB is roughed up to accept the top layer of asphalt. I rode in the gutter as much as possible.

I saw the man who walks MWF. I had never seen him in the daylight and did not know it was him. He recognized me.

TIL that "it's not always gas" can pertain to burps as well. I had some water then felt a burp. I let it go and immediately felt my breakfast in my mouth. I spit it out but kept riding. When people say "I threw up a little in my mouth" I don't think they meant this. I have felt things come up my throat but I managed to swallow before it got farther.

cycling week 18

With dad in the hospital, and Nancy & Greg were here, I could still do my morning rides. He moved to rehab on Thursday and Greg left on Friday. Now all the visits are on me. I worked it out with my boss, a split schedule so I could have time to visit my dad and still cook meals for the boys. But that means I will need to start work an hour earlier. So I tried a couple of shorter rides on Thursday and Friday to see how far I can go and still be ready to work at 6.

This also means, I need to cut my weekend rides down shorter as I don’t have all afternoon to get my groceries done and my miles in.

I have to keep telling myself it is OK not to get all the miles that I used to get.

I feel selfish if I want to ride more.

Not a bad week except for Wednesday.  It was cold so I walked in the morning not realizing I would not have much time in the afternoon because it was Andy’s birthday. 

It has been very windy and the weekend was no exception. I wiped out on Saturday trying to ride between cars and the curb. Oops.
