A great weekend filled with lots of exercise and activity! I appreciate the muscle soreness I'm feeling today - tells me I pushed myself a bit and this will make me stronger! Friday after work 5 of us from biking club rode 20 miles to neighboring town to eat where non-cycling spouses joined us. It was a fast group. It was windy and we were going slightly into the wind - my average was 17.1 mph! Next morning I literally rolled out of bed, into my biking clothes, headed to a Senior Games bike race. This has been a goal of mine for a couple of years - I finally completed it. I was disappointed when I arrived to see that besides my friend Cindy there was only one other person - a guy who appeared to be about our age. But I was really glad I did the race - Cindy and I game in just a couple of seconds behind the guy. I think my time was 19:35:87 (it was a 10K) which would be a little faster than my time trial time. At first my legs were on fire from being pushed the night before but fortunately they loosened up quickly. I hate racing - I just do it for the endorphin rush afterwards which makes me feel like I can accomplish anything! Cindy and I then went on ride so I think I ended up with about 22 miles total. Went out with friends later that afternoon to a wine tasting at a new vineyard close to us and then out to eat. Rest of the weekend was work, work, work. I worked in the yard all day yesterday - shoveling out old bark/mulch in flower beds, putting in new, cleaning up patio furniture, etc. Finally quit at 7:30pm. Love how the yard looks!
