Sluggish morning ride

Life has been a lot busier as of late. Without my usual routine of running every day, I have been struggling to find a rhythm of riding my bike every day. My training week goes something like this. 3 days of single track rides on my singlespeed, one day of riding hills at Umstead State Park and one day of a long ride at the American Tobacco Trail. Rain really throws a monkey wrench into my plans as single track trails are closed when they are wet. I was grumpy having to get out this morning at Umstead and ride hills when I really did not want to. My bike computer seemd to be lying to me as it told me how slow I was going. I was about 2 cups of coffee down of my usual consumption and I needed the caffeine. Coming home and getting in the shower was blessed relief. I realized how lucky I am to have good health. It takes a lot of work and some days suck but, like the T-shirts say, " Life IS Good".
