    I've either been overtraining, or I'm coming down with something (my throat does feel a little scratchy), or a little of both. Either way, a break is in order, methinks.
    Well, enjoy your break, jobob. I'll try to enjoy mine too. It's weird to be here on the computer this morning instead of out riding. Hmmm, maybe I'll just go out for a quick spin. I think I have become somewhat of an addict.

    I declare it's the weather. For me it's wet and cold, for you guys hot!

    If you really need to go out, then your best best might be to do a "guilt-inducingly slow" ride.

    So I might put off that 200K for yet another month.
    Listen to MP you really have been training hard and an easy week might make you feel like new. EASY REMEMBER!!!
