What a day! I had a morning packed with family/church/back-to-school activities, and by the time I finished those the weather turned to rain storms. I managed to accomplish just enough this morning to feel a little tired then the rainy weather joined in to sap my motivation to do anything that can be construed as "training" today.

I went for a ride last night and met up with a friend and training partner that I have not ridden with in a week or so. Jason was quiet like always so I asked if he was planning to ride easy (hoping to convince him to lay down arms).

Yesterday was scheduled to be recovery and it was. I intended to do some on-bike recovery but (as typical) other factors in my life pushed it off the back burner and off of the stove for that matter.

It became apparent to me this morning how non-trivial some of my decisions SHOULD have been recently.

This weekend blessed me with roughly 5+ hours of riding for me. That's a big weekend for me, as I normally do 1 long-ish ride on one of weekend days, but rarely will I do back to back days of 2+ hours of riding. Not a fear of the saddle time, rather just too much time spent doing other things.

With the forecast of rain all week, it looks like I will be spending a fair bit of my training time under a cover of some sort.

Last night I rode in the garage with the door open so I could face the weather outside as I spun the cranks (on rollers). I did have the headphones on, but I listened to a spoken word podcast...and the sounds of nature outside.
