More time away from the bike

Good times in Laguna Beach this morning!  The last couple weekends have been repeats of my ideal day...  short mountain bike ride in the morning, farmers market and coffee in Laguna with my girls, lunch and nap at home, and hang out with some friends in the evening.  That's the good life. 

I did go the whole work week without any exercise and it was a little rough.  9-10 hours at a desk 5 days in a row with no physical activity leaves me feeling pretty beat.  Then after a ride this morning I feel much better.  I'm not sure if that's normal, probably not.  Anyway, I'm starting to miss doing some bigger rides and will be plenty fired up when I do start training again in a few weeks.

Off Season!


Off season!  I don't feel like I've been getting a lot of rest with things being really busy at work ever since I got back from Worlds...  But even with the long work days I'm sure my legs and body are getting some sort of physical recovering.  Chill days going to the coast and napping do wonders for the soul too.  There hasn't been much in the way of riding for me, just one or two easy rides per week.  Spending more time with these beautiful girls has been the best part of the last few weeks!  And I did make it out for a long ride and 100 sunny miles on the road bike today.  Life is good!
