The mornings were cold this week but I managed to ride. It didn’t seem as cold to me as in previous years. (I wonder if my metabolism is coming back up and keeping me warm. I do feel warmer through the day as well.)
I did groceries on Saturday.

The mornings were a little warmer this week. I guess last week was just a tease of the cooler weather to come.
I rode to the dentist after work on Tuesday and stopped to get more juice for Andy since it was BOGO.
I started feeling like shit on Friday. I noticed that my heart rate seemed a bit higher with my ride that morning and thought I might be overtraining? But then the body aches were replaced with a runny nose and cough. Dammit, I haven’t been sick in over five years!
I still rode to the shops on Saturday but used the Cargo mode to give myself a break.
On Sunday, after a very restless night of sleep, I did 11 easy miles in Cargo mode.
Later, I rode to Target to pick up cough drops and Kleenex.

The week started out with Labor Day. I rode to Sprouts and the bike shop. I wasn’t surprised the bike was closed but I had to check. (Please don’t ask me to CALL the store!)
On Tuesday, I had an appointment at the eye doctor. My eye doctor is on his way to retirement so he only works at this office 2 Tuesday mornings a month! I knew it would not be easy to use the computer after my injection, I took the rest of the day off. After the appointment, I stopped at Nutrition Smart then went home for lunch. Then I went out again to go to the bike shop. I had a $50 credit but still managed to spend $34. I got a chain for Ryan’s bike though his bike needs 1 1/2 chains and they don’t carry the cheap ones.
Wednesday through Friday was the normal early morning rides before work.
On Saturday, I rode to Publix & Target.
Sunday’s ride was early morning before breakfast.
This week. 115 miles (97 Strava)
