I did my second ride yesterday, 3/21/10.
The Dublin, GA, St Patrick's Day Century.
(My First was the Beckley 100 a few weeks ago. I did 33mi.)
This time I did 57! And in the rain!!
Beckley was my first sub 40 degree ride and Dublin was my first rain ride.
Both times I was watching the weather go into an area that I had been avoiding for regular rides.
Both times I had the fear that I would wimp out.
Both times I met or exceeded my goal!
I felt so good this time I just kept taking the longer route.

A bonus (for me anyway) was that my husband had bike trouble and had to take a short cut off the 100mi ride. We happened to meet up at the final rest stop and were able to ride the last 8mi together! He rode in the 85mi range. He has his bike in the shop for some repairs today.

My desire has been to get back to being able to run at least a 5k by my 50th birthday in June but maybe I will switch it to a full century. My plantar fasciitis is not going away. I don't think my foot will ever fully recover. Too much scar tissue.
