My Kind of Mother's Day

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!

  3. Nice 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.

  5. 40K, 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.
