No Drugs

It's viral. I just get to wait it out, for 7-9 days. That just bites!
Taking the day off today, and I'll see how I feel tomorrow. Oh yeah! 99.9 at the Dr. this morning.

Sick Stats

Started feeling better at about 10:30 this morning, after a pretty rough night. I had chills, sweats, muscle aches, (Hmmm that sounds like a bike ride) all night long, which kept on waking me up. I guess I'll have to start keeping stats, like I would if I was riding. 10 hours of sleep last night, lots of fluids, 3 or 4 oranges and a temp of 99.5 tonight. Stats aren't an obsession with me are they?

I was feeling pretty good at about 2 this afternoon, but thought better of the idea of heading out on a ride. Went over to the gym instead and spent 2 hrs on the elliptical at a nice easy pace.

Getting Sick

Raw throat yesterday. Got home from my ride tonight, and I was coughin' stuff up, so it looks like it's moved into my lungs, and you know I sort of need those to ride with. I've got the chills now, I'm getting the aches and it hurts to touch my skin. This has all come on since yesterday.

I felt fine this morning, except for the throat, and then when I got home...I feel bad. I'll be in bed early tonight, and just sleep until I wake up. Lots of water and oranges, with the sleep, I hope, will get me better real fast. The weather looks great for this weekend, and I don't want to miss a good hard ride.

I had an old rear wheel rebuilt for my "B" road bike, and got it back today. I'm planning on taking the "B" road bike out this weekend...first time since December 1st.

Kept my ride short and easy tonight. I have found that I do better when I'm sick if I ride, or at least get a workout in. 25/14.7

Two-For

A cold wind kept me all bundled up while my riding partner was taking clothes off. I am a wuss. 31/13.9

Celebs On High Bridge

The weekend rides were fantastic. Today was no less spectacular. I could smell Spring in the air.

Got my picture, well at least my right shoulder, in the Pioneer Press this morning. I'm in yellow right behind CJ, who stole the shot. I was riding with the Birchwood Coffee ride. This picture was taken as we were coming down High Bridge. 30/15.1

Did not want to come home. I just wanted to ride and never have it end. I love that feeling. 53/15.2

So Good

Perfection at 32 degrees. What a blast! Great company, hard work, lots of pain and suffering. It doesn't get any better than this? Well maybe if it was 80 degrees, but man this was good.

THANKS! 51/17.7
