remind me again why i do this

The sun is out, the wind is minimal, the birds are chirping, and the roads are dry, remind me again why I am going to the gym today instead of out on the road on my bike? Maybe cuz I pay for the gym? I really need to get better about using it on rainy days and enjoying these sunny days-especially since we are getting so few of them right now.

What do you think? Should I make an executive decision and boycott the gym today in favor of a quick ride? And by quick I'm thinking 20 miles. Maybe 25. Definitely not 30, not today. But I should, my 35-mile ride is only 10 days away. Save me!! Or just come cheer me on, that will work too.

Good news of the day! I found a Saturday riding partner. We are both planning to ride a half century in August and when we figured that out, we decided to train together. We will be our own support group. She rides short distances really fast so I get to learn speed from her. I ride longer distances but much, much slower. She will learn distance riding from me. So excited!!

  2. totally worth skipping the gym last night. It's yucky weather again today, which makes my decision feel even sweeter.
