Man, oh man! it is about a thousand times easier to ride with the proper amount of air in the tires! I went out and rode the route I did yesterday and added a couple of laps around the block (although I really wanted to do a lot more). I am feeling a lot more hopeful about being able to train for all the long rides I want to do this next year.

Definitely feeling more optimistic about getting back to normal. So optimistic I'm going to sign up for STP and RSVP tomorrow. Managed a fairly hilly 15 miles over the weekend and today, was able to make it through a spinnervals dvd (Sweating Buckets) with plenty of steam left to spare.

Terrific lauraelmore, so good to hear! I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were getting on... and you signed up for BOTH STP and RSVP?? You must REALLY be feeling postive about things, wow!

Don't push it too hard though, ease back into the big mileage...one of the warnings I kept reading about was trying to do too much too soon, even though you FELT more energetic... Anyway, take care!"Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far"

I was away for a while and just saw this post. So glad it is all coming together for you! I know how much better it feels when your activity level can finally get back to normal.
