Rough day on the bike today. The weather warmed up nicely so it wasn't that. Mostly I was in a funk to be riding alone again. A couple vicious looking dogs and some crazy wind left me winded and worried last week. They had me looking at how far I have to go, and took my eyes off the fact that I am turning my "I can'ts" into "I dids."
So starting out today I felt like I had an insurmountable mountain in front of me and I was alone. Sigh. Second I feel like I am racing time and MUST RACK UP MILES!!! Double sigh.
Last night, I contemplated going to the Y this morning instead of riding after my friend cried "frost warning" and opted not to ride today. Looking back, I probably should have done that. Yes it was a gorgeous afternoon, but I think I need some cross training, not so much for my body but for my soul.
All was not lost however; I did stop and treat myself to Beans and Cream. The best part? They are having their anniversary celebration and mochas were just $1.70. I got out there, got a few miles in, and stopped and smelled the coffee beans.
