Pain
I could have ridden this morning, but I didn’t. The cats kept me up a good portion of the night and I’m rather sore after yesterday evening’s commute. 90 miles of twists and railed corners took a toll on my muscles. Most of the winter was spent doing nothing physical and I degrade so quickly these days. I guess I’m getting old. I don’t bounce back like I used to when I was younger. I don’t retain muscle mass over time without constant use. I used to be able to take a month or two off and get right back into a groove in a few days. Now it takes weeks. I need more sleep to feel well rested and injuries take a lot longer to heal. A simple cut used to take a couple days. Now they can take weeks to heal. My high blood pressure made that worse. I’m got that back under control, mostly by reducing my work load and subsequent stress levels. I should go back to the gym…
In any case, rain is coming and I expect everything to be a miserable mess before the end of the day… or it could be another perfect day. Either way, I drove the car.
