Monday Endurance ride 3

Well, I missed a few days because my daughter, Danielle, gave birth yesterday to Rhys - A perfect little boy and 8.9lbs and 21.5 inches long.  I am so grateful I was there to welcome him in the world.   Seems like yesterday we were told I was dying and would never see her start her own family.

So I had no ride on Saturday or Sunday.

Today was a great day and my legs are whipped!  I road from home basically the same route as the other two long rides to the hub:  30.9 miles; 3740 feet; 3:37 moving time;  1461 calories -
I pushed hard in my bigger ring most of the ride.   Was really having flying fun downhill!   Met my training buddy, Doug at the trail head - and he is an animal rider and climber - so I can see him going soooo slowly waiting for me... ;-) bless his heart - but he is patient and needs his recovery rides and he really helps me push myself.  I am not sure I could do this without him.  So, thank you, Doug!

So let me go see what my coach has for me the rest of this week.  For anybody stuggling to get off the couch, I swear, the beggining is the hardest part!!! Once you get started and see results and do something like start a blog or join Stava, it becomes so much fun!!!!
