So the way didn't really go according to plan. Wed I was totally tired after the long bike ride Sun and then longish run/walk on Tue so I took another rest day. Thursday I just was lazy - another rest day. Friday I woke up to the most awful pinching pain in my neck and shoulder. Could hardly move my right arm or turn my head. Not sure what the heck I did there, but nothing seemed to help. Hot shower, ibuprofen, massage, rest, etc - nothing. I barely slept Fri night. Saturday wasn't much better and I was pretty short with everyone after the lack of sleep. Decided for Mother's Day to be my kind of day - we needed to hit mass on Sat night.
So here is MY kind of Mother's Day:
- Halfway decent night of sleep
- 25.11 mi bike ride across town and back (another length PR - though slightly overdressed as in my mind 50° seemed cool, but jacket wasn't needed)
- Greeted with flowers, cards, gifts and breakfast when I got home
- Hot shower after breakfast
- Chillaxing around the house all day
Life is good! Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect kind of Mother's day! I hope you are feeling good!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteNice ride. You are getting to the ride distances where I found that the tipping point was - start doing say, 30, miles regularly and 40-50 miles + suddenly becomes very doable very quickly.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect Mother's Day... :)
ReplyDelete40K, nice! It's hard to get bike clothing right because of the wind. You may have slept funny on your neck to cause the pain, or it was a delayed reaction and something seized up. Smart to take the rest days as needed.
ReplyDeletesounds pretty dang perfect.
ReplyDeletelove it.
:)
