Short ride - but proud of myself

[Catrin]

Good on you for listening to your body.

I'm really tempted to take Friday off to go down there myself, but I have to wonder whether my overworked DH will smother me with a pillow if I do. He's so bummed about this weekend's weather....

I am off work at 11 on Fridays (I work four 9 hour days and one 4). I just might have to do that meself...

Do you think he would buy that you need more practice since he has been mountain biking longer than you?

He'll concede that I could alway use more practice (who couldn't?), but I think he'd still be pretty bummed. He's been working a lot lately thanks to a prototype build at Cummins. And he didn't get to ride at all last weekend because he went home to visit some friends and family. He's generally not a spoil sport, but by the same token, I also try not to rub it in when my job presents some extra downtime. . My boss is on vacation beginning tomorrow though. Anyway, sometimes you gotta take one for the team in marriage. But maybe I can talk him into cutting out early. There's that possibility, too, I suppose.

When I realized that this weekend might be a bust, I contacted a friend of mine from Cincy. I think we're going to visit her on Sunday, so at least we have something fun to do. I hate spending three day weekends sitting around the house!

I agree on hating to sit around for a long weekend. Thankfully I do have a big group workout scheduled for Monday, and I can work on my own Saturday - and since I've not been to church for over a month that is also an option. Still a lot of downtime though. Hoping if the rain comes that it is later on Saturday and I can get in a really good urban/rural mixed ride in early, early that morning. We will see...
