Tired Of The Wind

I am so tired of this wind! Every single day that I get up it seems like the wind is blowing just enough to piss me off and ruin my day of cycling. I know it does not seem like a 10 to 15 mile an hour wind would do that but trust me when you are heading into it at 15 to 20 miles an hour it's like a brick wall and wears you out twice as fast as a calm day.

Most times it would not be that big of a deal and I would just deal with it and try to get in a nice ride no matter the distance. The problem is I have around 104 miles that I need to get into complete my challenge for the month. Yesterday I was only able to do 36.5 miles and that just was not enough.

In all honesty, yesterday I had hoped to do well over 60 and sort of put an end to this darn challenge I started nearly 32 days ago. Not only that, today I don't feel 100% so I am hoping that by the time I get out there and start cycling I will feel much better. It's crazy how at times that happens so hopefully today will be one of those days.

Birthday Party

Cicely and Zoe left around noon to go to a birthday party at one of our coworkers and friends houses. She has twins that were born right around the same time as Zoe was. It should be a good party and a good time for Zoe as well. I probably should have went but my plan was to be cycling all morning not dealing with the wind or feeling like crap.

Out

So with that, I'm going to call this an injury for the day and move on to other things. I have a little bit of work to do when I get back anyway but I was unable to finish in the yard because it started raining while I was mowing last night. At least I got all the mowing done but there is a few other little trimming items I need to still take care of.

No big deal and it will all get done in time it just seems that the weekends go by so fast now it dries me crazy. Nothing has really changed and I used to be even busier with racing my cards so I don't know how I did it then. Maybe my priorities were just more focused, I don't know. Nothing to worry about now, just need to get going and quit wasting time being so damn indecisive. Although I think part of it is that I have to do my hobbies alone.

If Cicely and Zoey were always with me it would make them more rewarding at times and me more eager to hurry up and go. Oh well, we have things we do together so we have to enjoy those and not dwell on those we do not share a common interest in.

Think I'm Getting Sick

It's time to go ahead and end this entry because as I've been writing it I have been feeling crappy, hot and my stomach has not been feeling very well. I hope it's just from the stress of the day, well the stress I have been putting on myself to cycle that-is. Or possibly that I have not been getting enough sleep or something. My worst fear is that it's going to be the norovirus and that I will be dealing with it for the next two days.

I guess we will see? If it's me vs. Zoey having it I would rather it be me. Maybe it will be a little mellowed version of it as Cicely had. Knowing me and my luck with colds it will be full on.
