You know, I am really tired. I looked back at my log, as well as the events of the past couple months, and I see that I have good reason. Of course the personal stuff, but also, I have been building volume and climbing for 5 weeks in a row now. I am going to take about 6 total regeneration days now and start that endurance block with low climbing for 10 days. After recovering from that, I'll do a long climbing ride to see where I am.

I had been thinking to keep up these spinning rides to help with speed, because they are so hard for me...but I don't know if I can do that intensity plus really push my climbing volume too? I guess I'll find out.

Sure do appreciate all the encouragement and wisdom. Thanks!!!
