Week 25
Finally. I have persevered and done it. With mounting frustration about my lack of strength against constant winds on my evening commutes, I began driving to work to break the rut, in order to ride my entire 35 mile weekday requirement after work. I could use those heavy headwinds that kept my speed low on Monday and Tuesday as a tailwind on the other weekdays. This enabled me to put some nice numbers in my log book.
On a couple of days this week, I was sleep-deprived and I didn’t really want to ride. But, since Jay is coming to visit next weekend, this was my last chance to get a complete week before the 4th of July weekend (I’m scrubbing my rides next Friday and Saturday). Fortunately, I persevered and pulled off my longest week to date.
I think I’m on the way!
