Yeahbutt ... it still has to be fun, otherwise what's the point?
I think you're doing the right thing in listening to your body and doing what you want to do and what you're ready to do. Otherwise you run the risk of burning out, and what good would that do you?

Very wise. I only listen to my body now; to do otherwise got me into all kinds of physical problems.
Starfish: I empathize with you re your divorce. Been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it. It is draining, physically and emotionally. Do take care of yourself, and take time to heal. There will be plenty of days ahead to train on your bike.

Thanks. It helps so much just to hear that. The trouble is that out on my bike, on a good ride, is when I really can smile, work hard, and process some of this anger! But, when I really work hard and get it all OUT, then I'm really tired, sad, and crash for a couple days. Thanks again...like I said, it just helps to hear that it is normal to feel drained right now.

I'm so grateful for the bike!
