finally over it

it took until yesterday to throw a leg over the bike again. i logged an hour on the trainer. felt ok but definitely had that post sick haven't been doing a whole lot for days feeling. all told, i took 4 straight days off which hasn't happened for many many months. in hindsite i should have taken a block of time completely off after nationals and never did so my body made me. i guess that is good (silver lining)?

m: 1:00 (trainer)
t: 1:00 (trainer)
w: 0 (sick)
r: 0
f: 0
s: 0
n: 1:00 (trainer)
total: 3 hours

even though i have been racing as a 35 year old since the start of cross, i officially reached that threshold today. i joke about being old but i am in my prime. with regard to my profession, i am at a point in life where i have the luxury of pairing experience with my intangibles. i have a very loving family that i cherish more than i often state. i feel fit and healthy (in general). i feel very lucky and i am going to use this age milestone as a reminder of that.

happy monday.
