I'm starting the ride with two sore knees (one brought on by running, one brought on my cycling I think.......I'm hoping my bike fit on Thursday will help solve that), really sore leg muscles from the plyometrics I did on Tuesday(!).....or maybe it's the volleyball that I played on Thursday. Haven't played in YEARS, so it worked different muscles.
Oddly, not too much of it seems brought on by cycling, which is primarily what I've been doing. We did a nice easy spin for an hour last night, and my legs were sore from the outset!
There is a lesson in there. I might need to back off when I'm not riding......or I'll never make it to ride day. Den thinks my ailments are hilarious (especially when you add in my poor balance, sometimes sore back, my head that aches when the weather changes (from surgery still), etc). SUCKS GETTING OLDER!
Oatmeal has been downed. Bikes are ready. Kids are still sleeping. The sun is up (although it's not warm yet...) Off we go!
Update:
So as we're riding today, this post was going through my head. What a WHINER I am. Yes, I had lots of aches on the ride today, but on a positive note:
We got up and did 50 miles today.
The sun was shining (OK, so it shines a lot here......but still. SO nice!)
We rode into Lyons and had an awesome cappuccino before turning around.
Although I had pains, my body let me do the ride (!).
Best of all.......as is the case with EVERY ride, we were so glad we went, after we were finished!
