more training fun

yesterday sucked. I don't even want to pretend it was fun. I'd love to tell you it sucked cause I was doing an amazingly hard set of intervals. But nope, it just sucked for a few defined & some undefined reasons.

The new 'gloves' didn't work. I was hot. I was tired. I was cranky. It was hard. It felt like I was working at max effort. I wasn't having fun.

I quit, went home, made sugar cookies from scratch, ate all the cookies with a big cup of decaf, & went to bed very early. Some times it just isn't worth the suffering. On those days we comfort ourselves.....

Today, apparently was a good karma day. Maybe the karma fairy felt bad for yesterday. Maybe she was saying 'my bad, technical error, you were not scheduled for a bad day yesterday, so today is an extra good day.' The karma fairy takes a mulligan...

Anyways, today's time on the bike was very good. My quad handles magically worked wonders today, we got the cranks squared up w/out stripping a screw, I got my positioning a little better, etc... I rode almost a full hour w/out stopping. I give myself an hour from the time I start my watch so I don't spend all evening on the bike. I feel good, real good.

I guess sugar cookies plus 9 hours of sleep works wonders... Actually it was one giant cookie cause I spread all the batter into a single pan & baked it like that. And whatever my issue with coffe was.... it seems to have mostly passed. thank goodness!
