Rain, rain go away

Oh Karen, my heart goes out to you. My mom use to work in the ER and she told me you can always tell Kidney stone patients, they walk without their feet ever touching the ground it hurts so bad. My sister in law had one and man was she sick, I just feel so bad for you.
Get well soon and pass that bad boy.

Sorry about your kidney stone, Karen. That makes complaining about the weather seem trite. But like you say, it might be good for getting some cool bike presents for sympathy...
When it rains at this time of year, I go to the gym. I can't bring myself to do a spin class during the normal cycling season unless it's been a few days since I've ridden. Saturday we went to a pilates class and warmed up on the treadmill with a short run. I will ride if it's just sprinkling, but the winds today stopped us from going out. We decided to hike in the Delany Reservation in Stow, about 2 miles from my house. It was really nice and we found some good trails for mountain biking. I went out Friday after work and the winds just sucked the energy out of me. I am 7 miles short of my 500 mile goal that I thought I would reach this week. But then I reflected on the fact that last year on Mother's Day, we were riding in Concord and ended up in a soaking rain, with a temp. of 48. The next weekend was 95.

This rain is really putting a damper on my pool installation.....
They started last week, and it rained while they were digging. So now it's raining AGAIN, that's going to push them out till at least Thursday....
I can say there is a moat around the back side of my house.....They were able to trench for the gas line, and part of the pool area. We're getting a fiberglass pool, so we don't have to wait for the cement to dry. But at this rate they won't be done for a couple more weeks.....wah wah wah. It's still early to swim, but I just want it to be done......
I was able to ride yesterday 50 miles with the team though......
