Monday!

I just finished my first RIDE of the season with my bike friends. SO much better than spinning. 15 miles -- not too far, but it was low 50's and windy - and our first ride out. Besides, my daughter's playdate was only 2 hours... I felt good - although the last mile or so my lower back was SCREAMING. I am stretching now and hoping I am just getting used to the new bike. It felt like this last Friday - after I rode Thursday to work... hmmmm...

This weekend after my great swim workout I got sick. I thought I felt a little out of it after the pool, but assumed I was tired since it was a LONG swim. However, as the day progressed I felt even worse - chills, head ache. All day yesterday I just hung out (did laundry), skipped my training run. The cold symptoms appeared last night, but it seems to be all that there is - A BAD COLD, which I am ignoring.

I never got to the store for the batteries to juice my scale. It is on my list, but at this point it looks like I'll just hang on til Weigh-in-Wednesday to check my weight. My GIRL's Weekend starts Friday. The challenge was to be 6 lbs lighter. I don't think I made it to 6 - but I did lose. I guess that will have to be good enough.
