It's been awhile....

It has truly been an up and down month or so. I read one of my XC colleague's blog account of his first century of the year a couple of weeks ago and could only be a bit envious. Susan and I went to Florida for Easter and for 2 and a half weeks I didn't even touch a bike. Actually, I did almost no exercise other than a few laps in our pool. I came home in mid April feeling like I needed to learn how to move all over again. Since then I have managed to get out but very inconsistently. I think I need some concrete motivation, I wish I was looking forward to another cross-country or Maine to Florida. I looked through some of the blogs of this year's XC ride and will be riding vicariously with them but, truth be told, I would rather be at Manhattan Beach heading across LA next Sunday morning...So much for the self-pity: it is threatening rain today and I need to get out before it ruins the day.
