Thanks ladies for all the kind words and support. It has been a rough summer but I'm moving forward with my head held high. I'm fully recovered from my surgery and I'm working hard to put exBF behind me as best I can. Some days are better than others but I continue to look for the good and I just know good things await me.

Sundial, I try to ride at least 6 days each week but I will confess sometimes I just keep riding. I listen to my legs for they are not shy and will quickly tell me when I need to give them a day or two of relaxation. I took 4 days off in July and a on a few of those it took everything I had not to pull a bike out and go for a spin.

My goal each month is 500 miles which is not hard for me to reach when the weather is warm/hot but is a bit of challenge when I'm on the trainer.

The kitten in my picture is Penelope. She turned 1 year old back in April and is a devil of a child. She looks very innocent but she is not. I love her to pieces but she has issues.
