Riding today!

Day 4
Ibuprofen: 1200mg

Hi all,
Today we rode out on the bike trail for an hour. My worthy training partners all left me in their dust :-) but I was able to complete 10 miles today. We all agreed that this was not the best we've ever felt riding, but I'm sure we will all hit our stride soon.

I love being out on the bike trail on Saturday mornings. There are athletes of all shapes and sizes, and everyone is very free with a smile, a "good morning" or a "great job!" I find that when I am feeling low on energy and a little down, it always makes me feel better to encourage someone else. So if you hear me shouting out "Great job! Keep it up!" all along the trail, it's because I need a little lift myself, and it always makes me feel better when I see other folks smiling.

The Praying Guy was not out on the trail today, which is too bad. There is this dude who is out there most weekend mornings, praying for all the people he sees out there. He kinda freaks some of the folks out, but I'm always glad to have someone wishing God's blessings on me, even if he is a little nutty. Heck, I'm a little nutty just being out there!

One more day of training down! Another day of victory! Yay!
