Unexpected

My ride today was suppose to just be a short, "recovery" ride, before the longer ride that I had planned for tomorrow. About 3 miles into my ride, I started to feel the cleat on the bottom of my shoe started to feel loose in the clip. So I pulled over, and took a look at it. Low and behold there cleat was loose in the bottom of my shoe. So I had to make the slow trek back home with only one foot clipped in. The other foot was carefully placed on the side of the pedal that is like "normal" bike pedals. When I got home it took a little searching, but I eventually found the right tool to screw the screws back into my shoe. I suppose this was a good lesson. I should inspect eveything, not just my bike before riding.

I ended up going 13.5 miles today. I felt good and strong throughout, and even managed to hold 18-20 mph for a good portion of the ride, peaking at my new max speed high of 25.7. The weather was nice for a ride, though it was a little chilly when I rode through the shadows along the tree line. That puts me up to 56.3 for the week, and I still have another day left. I'm not exactly sure what I want to get out of tomorrow. I've had a good amount of milage already for this week - like everything else, I will look back on a ~60 mile week in a few weeks/months and laugh, but for right now it was what is in the best interest of me, and my body to get used to everything, rather than just jumping in and upping the milages too much too fast.
