My DH is exactly the same way. He says things that really hurt my feelings. Like we will be out on a nice ride and he will have to make the comment that we only did 16 miles. Only? Come on? He also mentions how I tell him that I average 17 mph on my solo rides and how come I dont when im with him. Like he doesnt believe me or something. Hello?? Check my computer. It doesnt fib. Well last night I was at the point that I didnt really even want to ride with him because I new he wanted to ride fast and go for a longish ride. Well I finally psyched myself up and out we went. I rode as hard as I could and stayed in the front. There were actually a few times that I looked back and he was Waaayyyyyy back. YEAH! I pushed myself so hard and it actually felt good. This morning he actually called me from work to let me know that the back of his legs were really bothering him. Hes probably coming down with something because he usually kicks my butt everytime out. I was just in a zone last night. I probably wont do that again for awhile but it felt really good.
