I felt almost like my old self today. At the point where I turn around at the out and back, I knew I felt good enough to ride out to the wildlife sanctuary, which adds about 9 miles. I haven't had the energy to do that for a long time. And I feel good now, not like I need to sleep for the rest of the day to recover.

Now that I know there was a medical cause for feeling like a slug, I am amazed that I still rode as much as I did, and annoyed that I didn't realize the way I was feeling wasn't okay.
