Great news, Mimi.

Dear Body,

For all these weeks you thought there was something really wrong with you. Turns out you were coming down with bronchitis and ignored it. That little inkling in your brain that you should take a rest week instead of a rest day might have been a good idea. No, you're not getting slow and old, just sick.
May not have been a great idea to go to a step class this morning, but I think it was a better choice than riding in 32 degree cloudy, pre snow temperatures.

Taking 5 days off from any exercise was wise, maybe should have been more.
