    Ride!!!!!

    It was a VERY short ride, and considering that I've had three very intense workouts for the last three mornings in a row (including this morning), I shouldn't have done it. However it was an AWESOME 30 minute ride! 80 degrees, sleeveless jersey, wind and sun on my skin...after a few miles my neck started complaining so I listened and went home. I was expecting that to happen so it wasn't a surprise - I really can't mix gym and ride on the same day. AWESOME ride though

    They say the temps are dropping again starting tomorrow, and I've a 5 day conference starting Sunday afternoon...so I wasn't about to pass it up. It was an enjoyable ride, and I didn't bother with my HRM, I KNEW it would be shorter than desired, but it was a RIDE

    Sometimes the shortest ride is the best. That's why I go, even if I only have 30 minutes.
    Those little rides add up.
    I went out with arm warmers and knee warmers and a sleeveless base layer under a ss jersey at around 11:30. Big mistake. At 6 miles I shed both sets of warmers and was glad I had put sun block on my arms. Even though I felt sluggish, I ended up with a respectable average for me, at 15.5 miles.

    There is nothing wrong with a short ride. All rides are great. I got in an hour today.

    Woot!

    I rode too on Monday. First time since I don't know when. Turned the speedometer off and went for 23 miles by myself and it felt GREAT.
