Last couple days
On Tuesday I put in another 18 miles in the 'saddle'. It was a moderate intensity ride. Just a few days away from the hills, I didn't want to over do it after the 19 that I did on Monday.
I took Wednesday off, and then got back on the bike today. It was a very difficult ride. I had a bad headache that started in the afternoon, and my muscles just weren't consistently cooperating with me like they have been over the last 3 weeks, but I suppose every athlete has days like this where they need to just keep on pushing, and grind through it. At least I can say that I didn't give up, and kept on it until the end. It only ended up at 14 miles, which puts my week total up to 61 miles. Now I just need to put this into the past, not forgetting it - instead learning from it, and get mentally prepared for next workout. That's what is important. It was definately something that I have learned from, and I think it will help me in the long run.

Thanks, well it turns out that I might be sick. I feel like I am getting a cold, so that might be part of the reason for the rough day yesterday.
Hmm, challenge for Saturday evening: biking while fantasy drafting! Mental and physical workout.
Plus we'll throw in snipers.
