You GO Denise!!
I know just how you feel!!
I just went for a ride today that last month had me panting and gasping and tired. Today...no problemo!!!! In fact, after that one hour ride we just continued on for another 3 HOURS, and I got home feeling a bit tired but really happy and good all over. AMAZING what one more month of daily riding can do!!! I can't believe how much I have gotten stronger. And no more gasping and panting- just strong controlled breathing.
WE ROCK, DON'T WE??!!
