the reality of it

man, after feeling sick/achy all day yesterday i decided to head out for an easy run just to get some fresh air. i strapped on my headlamp and did some running on the ice age trail and felt ok. i woke up this morning congested, tired and achy but no rest for a parent of a 2 year old. i decided i would ride in and boy was it cold! good practice for the final events of the race season i guess. even though i didn't feel the best i knew that if i wanted to get a workout in this was it (because once i'm home i'm not sure i'll be able to muster the ambition to workout after cal goes to bed). it sure would have been a lot easier/more comfortable driving in this morning...

yesterday i told ron that i was getting sick of biking. that isn't entirely true, what i'm getting sick of is biking in the cold and/or dark. but i don't have an alternative so i'll keep plugging away and hope that i'm able to get a few good (whatever that means) results over the last month of the season.

happy wednesday.
