sore head.

after work last night i had a headache, my joints were still sore from the weekend's tilt and i was exhausted. i opted for a 45 minute nap in place of my 45 minute run. napping isn't something i'm usually good at so i'll take it as a sign that it was the right thing to do. i spent the rest of the night in a post headache-post nap haze, but that's ok when your major tasks for the night are doing the dishes and watching the brewers win another game.
last 7 days: 38.5 miles (yikes)

the first wors race was over the weekend. i've read a few accounts and looked at the familiar list of results in my age group in the class i'd be racing in and i have to say i don't feel any pangs of regret. i do want to get on the bike a little more often, but i'm not feeling the race vibe in the least. racing every weekend is nice and all, but for me half (or more) of the fun is the process of training, something i was never able to figure out in the context of a race series with 12 races, plus the peripheral races that i always wanted to do. it's tough to have continuity in training when you race 2/3 of the weekends during the summer. i'm not bashing, to each is own. i'm just much more comfortable with where i'm at.

happy tuesday.
