    No training this week, I have to save up all the glycogen reserves I can muster for Saturday

    What kind of tail light did you have Regina? maybe Sanity Clause will bring you one.

    Still off the bike but am keeping my fingers crossed that my doctor releases me from "recovery prison" on Wednesday. Since I can't ride I walked a total of 8.4 miles today. I so miss my bike!

    today it's 112 degrees in phoenix. i rode to church at 7:30 this morning, got done at noon and rode home. i haven't really been putting in the miles since DH was in recovery mode, so riding home i found myself getting slower and slower the farther i got.

    i'll be doing this all week since it costs $40 to fill up a freaking miata!!

    did i mention it was 112???

    safety tip of the day: when you fill up your bottles for the ride home make sure the pink stuff is NOT pink lemonade!

    Regina- That stinks. At least you didn't need it for safety.

    Makbike- Hope the doc clears you soon. I had a running injury a few years back and the doc tried to tell me no riding either, I ignored him. Probably wasn't smart though.

    We did 30.88 miles after work. There is a couple of nasty little steep hills and a few longer less steep ones. The rest is just rolling, then a nice false flat downhill to town. The weather was hot, but somehow enjoyable. Must have been the layoff of 80% humidity.

    I rode about 21 miles today after work. My mouth has been killing me and today I went to my Dentist and found out I need to have another root canal done. I just had one done in April. no fun, boy does it hurt. actually while I was biking it wasn't too bad, but once I stopped it was pretty darn bad. UGH.

    Just a quick 12 miles after work...

    I ran over an alligator lizard and killed him for sure. He crunched.

    Then I dropped my chain for the second time in two days.

    I got to ride through some wonderful orchard sprinklers.

    Now I'm going to eat ice cream for dinner.
