flake

yesterday was a bit of a cluster. the flooring guys were late (as mentioned yesterday) and we had to go back to decide on a color over lunch. this put my day in total disarray. it was robin's ride night so while she was doing that, cal and i went to rei and noodles and co for dinner to avoid spending too much time in the disaster area that is our house. it is going to look pretty darn nice when done, and it really isn't taking that long - but boy it really affects me when our house is in complete disarray.

my day off yesterday rendered me feeling even more tired and achy and fatigued than i have felt in months. why does that happen? now, i am in no way comparing myself to tour riders here but it must almost be a curse to have rest days when doing the tdf. they are riding hundreds of kilometers at high intensity per day and then they just stop. i guess that is why they all still do sizable training rides on the rest day but i would think the difference in intensity would cause similar sensations.

my new streak started this morning. it will be short lived - i don't anticipate getting out tomorrow. i'm hoping for a longish ride on sunday morning though.

happy friday.
