That makes me feel SOOOO much better. You have no idea. Last week my BF and I went for a long (well, long for me) ride. After about 30 miles I was falling back pretty far. We started climbing a long hill and out of nowhere I started tearing up. He was zooming up the hill while I was crawling and I was so freaking frustrated that I actually started crying. How retarded...Originally Posted by Kano
After I caught up to him I told him (in a calm, non-crying fashion) to go the rest of the ride without me because 1) if I were behind him, I would feel pressured to keep up and 2) if I were in front, I would feel pressured to ride faster and 3) I was not enjoying the ride. And for me, that's the whole point. Anyway, sorry to vent but thank you again. Hopefully I will be zooming up with (or past) my BF with my new bike!
"Butt Sports bra." That's awesome. Glad you got to run!

Oh Grace, that SO used to be me!!!! And the WORST part of it is that DH was in at LEAST as rotten physical shape as me! We didn't even have to be on a hill! Originally Posted by GraceKeaux

For a while, I was doing an extra ride in the middle of the day to try to get myself going. That didn't work real well, but I enjoyed THOSE rides a whole lot more than the ones with him until I figured out that I needed to take the pressure off myself and enjoy the ride!
The run -- I did NOT enjoy it. Kelly's pretty good at NOT repeating herself, but she likes to run, so I don't think I can hope we don't do that again soon!
ON the UP side -- I was wearing my Shebeest Shindiggers this morning, and they're kind of wimpy. I love the knicker thing, though, and lucked into some Shebeest Pedal Pushers today at REI --- discounted!!! They're nicer than the Shindiggers, and might even do the "butt bra" thing for me!
