Jeez, Mary, I thought I'd done pretty well this year...until I read your list of accomplishments!

You've had one heckuva cycling year, tootsie, so now you should just chill and let that back do its recovery thing, while you bask in the glow of the year's achievements. Maybe your back is trying to tell you something--like "Hey, take it easy--give me a break, woman!" Be kind to your back and to yourself.

And while you're at it, reach back and give yourself a pat on that back--it's supported you in fine style all year!
