Well…maybe there is something to this taking care of myself…got up this morning and the pain is gone in my foot for the most part and the swelling is even down some…and I am not anywhere near as stiff as I normally am when I get up and that is just from not taking the second ride yesterday…so, maybe taking the day off today will help even more…it is hard to look at the bike and know it’s all lubed up and ready to go and it is going to sit there all day….but if taking a day off once a week will help me not hobble around here all day, I guess that’s a good thing…I even got over 5 hours of sleep last night…broken up into two parts but I can live with that…and I don’t feel too bad this morning but getting over the guilt of not riding and cutting out at least 600 calories today is going to be a little tough…but, I don’t have anything thawed for the second meal so maybe that will make it easier…I do have lots of veggies and could make a salad so maybe that’s what I’ll do….my new router is supposed to get here today and I hope to get that set up as soon as it does…the one I’m using now is over 15 years old but is probably one of the most reliable pieces of equipment I’ve ever owned…it was even used when my son gave it to me but I’ve never needed the latest and greatest of anything, just something that does it’s job like my 26 year old car….not much to do today…I do have to do laundry but that is about it for my day off…other than taking care of the gardens…I have a cuke that needs to be picked that is 18 inches long and almost 4 inches in diameter and it looks like I’ll have overflow of those and jalapenos that can be frozen….so it looks like an easy day for me with races to watch and no work to do….but 7 o’clock is here and I could get out on the bike…man, this is harder than I expected….more later…
