On Saturday I moved up a notch, riding 55 miles at a steady 15mph. I was pretty tired when I got home but somehow mustered up the energy to go to Costco...on a Saturday afternoon.....with two kids in tow. I'm pretty sure I deserve some sort of award for that!
Saturday night I was simply exhausted and fell into bed. About an hour after falling asleep, which took all of about 2 minutes, Bella hurled all over the bed and me. I was literally up all night tending to her as she continued to get sick.
Sunday, in a fit of pure madness, I went on another ride. This one short - 26 miles - however for some reason I had the power in my legs. Power like lightenin'. Like gawud Himself was pushin' me along. Can I hear an "amen"! I sprinted from Quebec and the Cherry Creek Trail all the way to REI at a pace which stayed above 20mph and mostly around 22mph. I don't think I've ever ridden like this. It was amazing!
When I got home, again possessed by some sort of energy demon, I went to work in in the yard and garden - amending soil, planting, generally shaping things up.
I'm still not sure what came over me.
Last night I planned to attend a bike maintenance for women class, which ended up being a bust. Firstly, it wasn't hands-on. The announcement wasn't specific but one would assume a class on detailed bike maintenance would include actually DOING something. Nextly, and lastly, the instructor didn't show. I was more than peeved, having skipped my run for this.
I'm worried about the rolling hills. I've still not done much in the way of hill climbing and really really need to. Maybe this weekend?
