    RnR - The Yoda thing really cracks me up. I know why you say it but it's truly funny because I really love green. My bike is bright green, my helmet matches, all my clothes are either green or go with green, my office chair is green.....

    My favorite spinning instructor says to tell yoursel you'll slack next time.

    Good job on the run and was the ride a reward?
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    Haven't gone out for the ride yet. It's p!ssing down rain right now. I'm putting a chilli in the crockpot, once that's done, I'll re-evaluate. I just had my bike overhauled and it's sparkly clean. I don't really want to take it out in the rain.

    But I also don't fancy the idea of sitting on the trainer. DH said that he would rent some movies and watch them with me. What I might do is go out on my MTB for a couple of hours then come home and sit on the trainer for one movie.

    We'll see.

    MTB is a much harder ride, way more intense, at least around here. As well as more challenging mentally. Plus it's a nice change of pace for you.

    I think a 2+ hour MTB ride could count for a 4 hour road ride.

    Thanks V. TRUE MTB is very hard here too. What I meant was, I would take my MTB out on the road for a spin just because I don't want to get my sparkly road bike dirty after paying for my overhaul.

    DH and I have changed our minds though. We're takin' the road bikes out and facing the weather. It's not too cold, just a little windy and wet. We should be fine. He'll ride with me for a couple of hours, then I'll be on my own.

    Off we go.

    Way to go Wahine!!

    Wow! Good for you for getting out into the weather.
    DH and I were off telemarking but the weather was windy, cold, no sun about, so we turned ourselves about and demo'd our fireplace instead.
    Heaving a sledgehammer and hauling brick must count for something- at least I hope!
    Swimming tonight- now there is no way I'll jam out since you were ( are ) such a trooper!
    Thanks for the motivation- hopefully I can pass some your way soon
