Perseverence and pain

Well I started out on a club ride saturday morning. I didnt feel good at all. My breakfast had upset my stomach, but I wanted to make the ride anyway. I was constantly on the verge of puking. My legs felt extremely heavy and weak, but I pushed on. I was dropping back quickly on every climb. Soon I could no longer hang and I dropped furter back but continued to ride solo, thinking Id catch up at a re-group. I guess they never re-grouped because I rode the last 50 miles alone. By mile 35 my body was really beginning to ache badly. I was forced to pull over and take a break a few times as my body just didnt want anymore. I finally made it to a gas station at mile 55 and got a coke and took a short break. That was enough to get me home. Turns out I had a fever and the stomach was still upset. I slept for 3 hours and awoke feeling much better.

Not happy about my ride I decided it was time to get back in the gym. So this morning I got up and went to the gym. Its time to try and strengthen my linguring injuries. My back problems have been plaguing me for a year and a half now. I figure as the seasons begin to change, its time for me to get back to the weights and add some strength to the weaker parts of my body.

I pounded my legs this morning with the weights and will do an hour on the trainer when I get home.

Keep on spinning!
