Week In Review ~ Not So Great

montgomery gentry's bike

What a week. I got sick early last week. I thought it was just allergies but it quickly blossomed into a nasty sinus thing. :( I was completely out of energy and was lucky to get off the couch for most of the week.

I was feeling better by yesterday, thank heaven, since it was our annual trip to the Kansas State Fair, and my daughter has been looking forward to it for about 364 days. :) We had a blast, and if you’d like to see a little of the fun from the fair feel free to check out the pics.

While I was waiting for Hanna to ride the big Ferris Wheel with her grandma I noticed Montgomery Gentry’s bus over by the grandstand. It happened to have a bike strapped to the back. I thought that was AWESOME!! I couldn’t resist taking a picture to share with you all.

Today I am feeling much better, but still having trouble with the energy levels so I’m just taking it easy. My plan is to get back on the bike tomorrow. I am going to take it easy the first day and see how much I can handle. I would like to get back up to speed with my workouts.

The Walnut Valley ride is only 2 weeks from today on the 27th, and I really want to be ready.  I’m hoping this week off hasn’t been a complete set back in my fitness. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Goals for the week:

  • Get back on the bike and take a nice 10 mile ride if I can.
  • Do a couple interval workouts ~ whether it’s hills, or wind we’ll see what the weather provides.
  • Do a long endurance ride next weekend ~ if we don’t ride in the Wakita Lions Club Ride (if we do I guess that will count for my long ride.)
  • Weight train 2 days this week, including core workout.

That’s the goals for this week ~ I guess we’ll see how it goes.

    I wish you well in catching back up this week. With lupus, sometimes the catching up takes months (I’m still not back to riding where I was in April before a pulmonary embolism). The key, as you know, is diligence. Just get out there. If a mile is all you have in you, do a mile and a tenth. Three miles? Go for five. Listen to your body tell you what it can do, of course, but don’t give in to a whiny ego. It’s a too-easy thing to do.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get out there before whatever it is I’m coming down with keeps me off my bike for a few days. I can accept it…but I don’t have to like it. Namaste’.

Speak Your Mind
