Rule 1 - obey coach! Rule 2 - Believe

So yesterday was supposed to be an interval day.  I met my friend Doug at the trail head at Westridge at 10:00.  I started pedaling and was very tired.  The gash on my leg where I received 7 stitches and the slammed the car door on it, is giving me big problems after riding! Swelling.  Pain.  Even urgent care last Friday.
So I HAD A BLAST YESTERDAY!  Having a coach and training is working!  I warmed up and was stronger than ever.  I felt like superwoman!  Pedaled three hours up and down Sullivan and westridge and the hub - my legs felt like power machines.   It was so fun.  I was in tears as I finished the ride strong and te memories of my days of endless chemotherapy and the doom and gloom of being told I was dying.  And I was dying in many ways. 

I guess that first 15 minutes to 30 minutes is when everybody wants to go home and say, "I am too tired" -
I find myself sleeping better, being more relaxed and smiling all the time.  I am having trouble with regretting the past! Why did I WASTE so mucy of my life on the wrong course?  I guess I was born on the wrong course of life, and I just kept runing from life, from feelings, from fear!   So today I face my fears and I keep my trust in my coach, Lou Kobin, that she won't let me down, if I listen to what she says to do.

So, I feel I am on restriction! ;-)))   gottat get to court reporting today!!
thanks for following me -
love
