6 Days off...what was I thinking???

This past week was a bad week for riding for me. I wasn’t able to get out over the weekend due to house guests. Monday and Tuesday I felt terrible due to “female troubles” (FT) as my father would put it. Wednesday I was feeling better but ended up doing a long walk instead.

I read an article some time back that suggested you shouldn’t take off more than 2 consecutive days. Since I’m not training for a race I don’t think the impact of not riding for 6 consecutive days will be all that dramatic. I have felt a little more sluggish this week but that could also be due to FT. I made sure I got out yesterday but did just a few laps around my immediate neighborhood. My area is a large circle with circles that cut across each other and no thru streets. 1 lap around the outer loop is .25 miles. I logged about 2.5 miles yesterday.

I’ll be out of town this weekend so I am looking forward to a longer ride today since I won’t be back on the bike until Monday or Tuesday next week.
