Well…that was better…slept through most of the night and didn’t wake up til 6 and not out of bed until 6:37….still feel pretty worn out but I guess I should…going to hit the 10,000 mile mark today and I’m not sure how I feel about that…I know it’s an accomplishment but where do I go from here? Is riding 24 miles a day now the new normal? I know I have to ride to control my weight but I have been longing for a day off to do what I want for a change but that can’t become a habit with my well developed sense of guilt….and I don’t think I’ve done any permanent damage with all the miles…I still have the last goal of riding every day for the calendar year and that means a couple more weeks of every day on the bike…I wonder if I should just keep riding to have two years in a row? Not sure yet….it did snow a couple more inches last night and didn’t get above 14 degrees overnight but a warm up is coming to almost 50 by Monday and the it will stay in the 30′s for the rest of the year and I’ll take that over the teens any time…I do have to figure out the meals for the day today with the first big ham finishing up and having chicken thighs in the fridge so I’ll probably make two days of those and make the next ham Sunday…will probably do the next batch of ham soup next week but I’m not sure if it will be with the bones in the freezer or the new ones…not much to do today…just need to get off my butt and get started on the rides and then see how it goes…more later…
